Bonjour de Montréal

by admin

Preston traveled across the border to Canada and spent a weekend in Montréal, Québec.
Montreal is beautiful! but at the blazing 85F+ weather, sightseeing wasn’t really Preston’s thing.

The highlight of the trip for Preston was all the yummy gourmet he got to sample.

Preston’s lack of interest in sightseeing could be evidenced in ALL of the family pictures.

FYI:
1. It is about 5.5 hrs drive from Boston to Montreal.
2. Proof of rabies vaccination is needed to travel into Canada and back into the US.
3. Poutine is French-Canadian food made of french fries, cheese curds and gravy. La Banquise is a great place for poutine.
4. Expect a long long line out the door at Schwartz’s Deli. Going early (smoked meat is available after 10am) is strongly recommended.
5. Montreal’s Metro and the Underground City are not dog friendly. Bummer!

    Hi Preston!
    I am so sad that you were not able to visit me while in Canada. I am only about 2 hours from Montreal… I should have come to meet you there.
    Did you like your poutine? You know, I am actually from Quebec, but my parents have never shared a poutine with me. 🙁
    I got my picture taken in that same place as you when I was in Montreal, from Mont-Royal!

    Wow Preston!
    Sounds and looks like you had fun in Canada! Our Mommy has gone to Canada (and went on a cruise out of there to Alaska). We are glad you had fun. Sorry to hear of the underground city being NOT dog friendly. That’s so not fair! Who can resist Puggles like you? We’re glad you had fun, and got so much yummy food. We love the pictures of you and your Mommy & Daddy together. You are very lucky to have such a loving parents. Thank you for commenting on our page. It’s a work in progress! Love, Jack and Ella (and Mommy too!)

    Hi Preston! You sure have been the Traveling Puggle! I love all your pictures…you’ll have an album full of picture passport stamps before you know it! I would not like to sightsee either…take me to the food! I noticed all your attentiveness on the food photo shots!

    Wow Preston you crossed the border! What puggle can say that?! BOL! Look at all the delicious foods you got to taste ! No wonder you were not interested in “sight seeing”! I would only be interested in seeing the sights of food myself! Great pics nonetheless!

    Hugs and Licks, Bruschi
