Canada

So even though I've moved away from Atlanta I've still managed to find traveling work. This time I went to Montreal, Canada. This was my 1st trip to visit my northbound neighbors. Truthfully in the short time I was there I didn't spend much time in the daylight. I did, however, take a few hours one afternoon before sitting in the tradeshow and took a walk. I went to this little park/corner courtyard to see the Notre Dame Cathedral. Seriously, you couldn't get a picture smack in the middle if you wanted to. Somebody stuck a stupid light pole right there!
I went around the corner and picked up some food from this little French cafe and ate in the park. This is a close up of the statue/fountain. It was quite interesting.
On the walk to the convention center you go through Chinatown. Weird. I'm in French Canada and I am walking through the Asian District... I did catch a picture of a guy gluing posters. It seems so old tyme-y to me - like a streetsweeper or a chimney sweep. I mean, I know it happens all the time but you never see it. The posters are always just up there somehow. He's just a guy with a bucket of posters, a bucket of glue, a set of headphones and a brush. Well, I thought it was cool!
