Romantic Montreal a memorable excursion
MONTREAL I remember it like yesterday, that warm summer day when my wife and I were walking hand in hand on leafy St.-Mathieu Street.
These days, as we’ve stopped traveling due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, all that’s left, I’m afraid, is to look back nostalgically on memorable excursions like our visit to Montreal and dream about once again being able to explore the world.
Looming high above us during our walk was Montreal’s very namesake, Mount Royal, the beloved wooded mountain and today a popular park named by the French explorer Jacques Cartier, whose ship arrived here in 1535 on behalf of the king of France.
