Fun Pack of Notre Dame

Bienvenue au Montreal!
The Cook 2016 Road Trip continues North of the Border, into Montreal!
Some tips for travelers, which most of you already know, but we forgot in the moments leading into our next destination: shut your cell phone's roaming function off even BEFORE you cross the border into Canada.  And this next tip is especially important:  directions on your apps, maps and anything else are all in French.  And for someone who took Spanish along his whole high school and college academic paths more than 30 years ago, that can be tres problematic.  Tres, indeed.
In fact if you don't have someone like Heather along who took French during her academic days, you may Rue the day.
On to the Notre Dame basilica in Old Montreal!
Yeah, yeah, enough with the smooching pics.  Too bad.  We're still crazy in love after all these years, but THIS particular day marked the 25th anniversary of our first date and first smooch, so it seemed fitting.  Plus uncomfortable shows of public affection, as the Black Widow will tell you, play an important role in national security.
Perfect timing to catch that perfect sunset shot on a perfect cobblestone side alley
And leave it to Andrew to turn it into a British Invasion album cover.  Pick your group.
My family is so damn hip, it's scary.
Not sure if Montreal is ready for us, but we're about to find out.
Also, let's go see what this Tim Horton thing's all about.
