G's Canadian impressions (part 1 - Montreal and tango)

After almost 24h spend in the airports, on planes and traveling to and from, the Canadian trip has finished for me. It was just 10 days - but it seems so much longer. It was absolutely fantastic.
I'm counting on Slo to post a bit about the last few days as his reporting skills seem to be much better than mine.
My last night was the one in Montreal (it's a huge city, haven't seen such a big roads and multiple level crossings before - and it's busy with traffic, and roadworks, and it rained...)
Due to my great navigational skills we had a bit of a walk trying to find a particular shoe shop - but it was definitely worth it - I'll post few pictures of my new CIF later... And we went to milonga (tango dancing evening). Monday night, Al Sur Tango - really nice place with friendly people, very good music, nice dancers, good floor. It was good to dance after two weeks break.
The comment of the night was this one (while talking about the coast to coast trip):
"Across Canada? Have you looked at the map?" :)
Yes, it's big. So for the next few days Slo and JJ are planning to do some mileage. So not sure about blog updates.
Anyway - I was intendind to write some general impressions but it drifted towards tango and Montreal - so I'll post another one soon.
