Montreal

My college roommate, Jessica, and I chose Montreal for this year's annual reunion weekend. Neither of us had been there before and it was equal traveling time for both of us, making it a perfect destination for a long weekend get together.

We all arrived early on Friday night and our first stop was dinner. We had a delicious meal at a restaurant called Universal and then wandered around town for a bit. On our way back to the hotel we passed a restaurant that had basically a mini-keg on the table. It was either 96 or 120 ounces of beer, and Rob really wanted to try it but of course with a challenge: he wanted all four of us to finish the entire thing in under 10 minutes (at first it was 5 minutes - thank goodness he increased the time). Despite our hesitation, we actually managed to drink it all in 9 minutes, 47 seconds. Here's the before and after shot:

Since we did so much I'm going to write a a separate post about the highlights we saw around the city. Overall I think we were all impressed by the friendliness, cleanliness and beauty of Montreal and would definitely love to go back. We had a great stay at the Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain and would highly recommend it. The rooms were great, it was in a prime location and the staff was very friendly.

Check out some of these shots from our room!

Awesome view from our room.

Fancy chocolates delivered to our room each night. I was very impressed with the wax seal!

I want this dressing area in my house!
