Oh, Canada!

For my 21st birthday I asked mom for a trip to Canada, and due to circumstances beyond our control last summer, I finally redeemed the trip! We headed north to Montreal and had an amazing 5 days. It took us about 6 hours to get there and were really lucky and traffic was non existent.
Heading north!
The view most of the way, mountains, lots and lots of mountains.
You know you're in northern New York when you see a Moose Wind-vane at the rest stop...
Leaving the US for the first time in 4 years!
After 6 hours we finally see our destination!!

After checking into the hotel we found an AMAZING Indian Buffet, a mere block from our hotel (thank you gods of Hotels.com). We then wandered around the downtown near McGill U and just enjoyed the cool air and environment.

By the end of the evening I realized I know no French and how interestingly similar and different Canada/Montreal is from the US, all and all a nice start to vacation.
