Canada

We’ve seen warning signs for bears, sloths, even fleeing people on the road…today we saw one for a smaller, slower creature…so we went on a hunt for our favorite little reptile.

Montreal is known for its French feel, but who knew that there would be such a great street art scene. We loved this Mexican mama, tattoo and all!

We spent 1 July, Canada’s birthday, in the country’s capital Ottawa, and had a blast watching the Canadians getting all dressed up in red & white and celebrating their nation’s biggest day.

Ottawa is a clean, green city filled with some of the nicest citizens we have met along the way, but there is much more to the city than first impressions may reveal. Luckily we discovered that the key to conquering Ottawa is all about the locks.

The Niagara Falls are more amazing than we expected, but we were less than enthused about the town. Luckily, we found the perfect solution to make a trip to the falls a much more authentic, relaxing experience.

Discovering Montreal’s public bicycle rental system made exploring the city so much easier! We had 24 hours to see Montreal’s main sights and neighborhoods and cycling in Montreal is a breeze!

The second largest falls after the Victoria Falls in Africa have long been on our list of places to see. We finally made it to the Niagara Falls, an incredible sight.

The symphony of sounds on the streets are so classically French it is hard to believe we are actually in Canada. We just loved Quebec City! Read on for our 24 hours in town, plus seasonal tips!
