Before there was nashville there was Canada



I know Alex gave a great description of the Canukians but I thought I would Chuck a few shots up too.

Things I noticed about :

Montreal:
-  It's a super pretty city... in the old parts.
-  The french Canadians seem just as snooty as your most snooty Parisian 
- The food is incredible and served in small enough portions that you wouldn't be a walking heart attack in 7 minutes of arrival.
- Our hotel was incredible
- Super cool churches 
- Montrealians may be incredible clumsy as there is a constant stream of fire engines racing around.



Quebec:
- We got to drive an absolute tank with internal tv screens. 
- The old city is super touristy but still amazing to wander around.
- We were told by the locals that it is so safe you could even walk around naked at night.
- they make great crepes
- It's the gateway to incredible wilderness
- Didi I mention the crepes?

Niagara falls:
- It's a big waterfall
- you only need 5 minutes there 
- you get wet while looking at the big waterfall



Buffalo:
- You feel like you may get murdered there... and you might if you take the greyhound bus.
- It's got really cute townships all around it.
- AMISH!!! We got lots of baking and candy off them. They were one of the highlights of the whole trip. It was so cool seeing them in the buggies and wearing the heavily starched blue dresses and the men with the big beards. 
- Boarder crossing on land are cool. I love that you can jump from onside of the boarder to the next. 


Toronto:
I wouldn't recommend people visit there. I think its one of those good to live not visit places. They did have a really good doughnut and ice hockey though so they can be forgiven for being a bunch of rude people. It has a pretty lake and nice weather but it was just lacking that certain something (*cough* friendliness) to make it nice.
