So Montreal is a hundred times better than LA. At least as far as environment and my interpretation of the city. John and I flew in last eve and while the flight was uneventful....it had some great high points such as the added joy of not having a person in the seat next to me, which was counterbalanced by other not so comforting things such a very rocky landing. Apparently the city had been experiencing extremely high winds up to 40mph. This caused a rather bumpy descent into Montreal as just when you thought you were safe the wind shear would cut across and everyone would be crossing their fingers that we wouldn't flip over.
The hassle of customs was just the same as when we landed in Paris but this time I didn't get a stamp in my passport....just an unending list of questions. Why are you here, how long are you here for, where are you staying, what do you do? Things of that nature. But then after grabbing all of our bags we stepped into the crisp fall air and snagged the first taxi we saw to take up to the city. The city was beautiful as we drove from the airport to the Sofitel. The city just has that cosmopolitan feel without the superficiality that permeated LA. And yes I saw bread in the windows of the bakeries and people walking everywhere. Also the street signs are all in French....Very fun!

Sounds like a great place to visit, the last couple of days in Dallas have not felt very fall like.
