Being a rock star in Montreal


My good buddy Jamie and I won a photo contest that was held by HI and they supplied us with two free nights at HI-Montreal. Obviously two nights wasn't enough so we stretched it into four nights. We got to know downtown Montreal pretty well and we managed to make a trip up to Mont-Tremblant where we hit the slopes for a day as well.

We arrived on December 27th, 2008. We then departed on the morning of December 31st..
