We (my parents, sister, and me) tagged along my Toronto’s sister’s family of four to a 3-day weekend trip to Montreal, Quebec. My brother-in-law lived in Montreal for 4 or 5 years when he first emigrated to Canada with his family, so he knows the city pretty well. He took us to many places including Saint-Joseph du Mont Royal, Notre Dame, Old Montreal, Old Port, Chinatown…

On our way back to Toronto, we briefly stopped by Ottawa. Having worked there for about a year during my undergraduate co-op days, I got to know Canada’s capital city quite well and was able to play a proficient tour guide for my family.
