montreal was entertaining, although uneventful; we mostly just walked around and got a feel for the city. here are some pics. in order they are: apartment building in chinatown; sign by the river that for some reason i thought was funny (click to see it bigger); the montreal tower and frosting-covered olympic stadium; another view of the tower and stadium. by the way, if you ever go i highly recommend you check out the botanical gardens, in particular the insectarium. it's a little low on information, but has great, creepy, crawly, gross-you-out stuff.
