Montréal

After a nap and some work, I headed downtown to visit my mom and for dinner with my sister and her husband.  But first, the always wonderful rush hour traffic.

To Liverpool House, a celebrated restaurant whose chef was apparently the youngest to win Iron Chef America a couple of years ago.

Lots of delicious appetizers...

... but the foie gras with cinnamon brioche was insane.

Slow cooked lamb.

And of course dessert.

LOL on the wall.

The sun was out the next morning as the temps had dropped some 30 degrees F and the wind was now 30 mph.

After a few meetings, a company party starting at the historic old Montreal Forum, now a complex of theatres, restaurants and entertainment venues.

The a few blocks down Ste-Catherine street to Kampai Gardens, a new hot spot.
