A weekend in Montreal

I left SFO on Thursday morning. The flights to Montreal via Detroit on NWA were uneventful, and I arrived at the Sheraton Centre around midnight. Friday, I had lunch with my mom at our traditional dim sum restaurant on Clark, and walked around Montreal for most of the afternoon. There was an important playoff game for the Canadiens, so the entire town was dressed in red and cheering for our favourite team. I could hear the cheers from my room on the 31st floor! We had dinner as a complete family at Milos, where we enjoyed Greek salad, grilled octopus, grilled sea bass and baklava for dessert, accompanied by a couple of bottles of Chardonnay. After dinner, I dropped by my friend Philippe’s house to catch up with him and Vincent, and drank some 10 year-old Tawny. I left his house fairly early because we decided to play golf in the morning. He picked me up around 8am at my hotel with all my bags, and we headed for Golf UFO in Laval. I had the opportunity to play (poorly) 14 holes before catching a taxi to Trudeau airport for the ride back to SFO.
