Tu Parles Francais?

Since my brother just graduated from USC, my mom decided that we would celebrate by taking a weekend trip to Montreal, Canada. My brother is a HUGE boxing fan, so the fact that there was a fairly important match taking place in Montreal that weekend helped a bit. I struggled to get my papers and homework done before venturing over to our sister land, but I succeeded and was ready for the weekend.

I took French for 4 years back in high school, and I have visited France before, but I haven't spoken French in about 3 years. Now I knew that Montreal was a predominantly French speaking city, but I didn't realize the extent of it until we arrived. Lucky for me, I really didn't forget too much of the language and ended up speaking French for the entire 3 day trip.

My favorite thing about traveling is the architecture, and Montreal has amazing old cathedrals and European style buildings. I probably took around 500 pictures, which I cannot wait to upload and take a look at. Although I'm still recovering from jetlag, I had an amazing trip.

Now back to the real world.
