I went up to Montreal, Canada with my mom to visit my friend Nancy Chernoff and her family on Friday May 2.
We flew up Friday afternoon and got there around 6:00 p.m. The first night we stayed at the Nelligan Hotel. It was so beautiful. We ordered room service and watched a movie called Endless Love.
Our hotel was located in Old Montreal, Quebec, so the second day we explored Old Montreal, which is the oldest area in the city, in the morning.
Then we decided that for Saturday night, instead of staying at the hotel, we would stay at my friend Nancy’s house. Around lunch time, Nancy picked us up and showed us all around Old Montreal. We stopped at Mount Royal to snap a selfie.
We then drove to a restaurant to watch a hockey game with her and her family. The hockey team in Canada is called the Habs (in the U.S., it is called the Montreal Canadiens), so we watched the Habs play against Boston. It was a really interesting game,
I usually don’t like hockey, but it was really fun. My favorite part about the hockey game was hanging out with everyone and just catching up with Nancy. Unfortunately, the Habs lost, but it was still a good game.
After that, we went to a health food store to get some snacks and then went back to her house. We hung out for a few hours just talking and eating. It was really nice. For dinner, we decided to go to an Indian restaurant and the food was so good.
The Indian food was a little different than how it is in the U.S, but I loved it. My diet is really strict and sometimes it’s healthy for me to live a little, but I stuck to my diet when I should have really just let loose. Anyhow, I thoroughly enjoyed the food.
We talked and ate for a few hours. It was really awesome! Next thing I know it’s morning and we are getting ready to leave. We had a nice breakfast and then Nancy drove us to the airport.
As the saying goes, “Time flies when you’re having fun,” and I had such a wonderful time. I would have to say it’s on my top 10 list of my favorite trips that I have taken.
