We arrived in Montréal and, after some attempts to wrestle the in-room Internet into submission, headed out. Today was actually a beautiful day here, with none of the advertised rain. Instead, we walked by scores of restaurant-goers sitting on patios and smokers loitering outside restaurants, and wondered why we’d brought our winter coats.
