I'm Back


I'm back from my week-long vacation in Montreal and Toronto, Canada. Both were lovely although different cities. Montreal was more unique and had a European feel--especially in the old part of town. It was impressive to be in a bilingual city. Toronto was larger and more commercial, like a more manageable (and much cleaner) version of New York. Both had great shopping and very nice, fashionable people.
One of the places I visited in Montreal was the Basilica Notre-Dame, a 19th century church where one famous French-Canadian pop singer, Celine Dion, was married in 1994. As the tour guide told us, most people prefer to get married in the smaller, more intimate wedding chapel at the back, but Celine and Rene used the larger main space and broadcast it on Canadian TV. Here's Celine recording her new single, "Taking Chances":
