Highlights From Niagara Falls, Munster, Chicago

Niagara Falls

Thought about going out on the boat but I think I had more fun just watching them


Yes I went and checked it out where Eminem grew up

Gross Point something where Jim spent a few years as a kid

Ford's flagship factory

Chicago
Struck me as an odd name

Sears/ Willis Tower

The Montgomery Ward building which was once the largest building in the world 


I loved to downtown boat parking beneath the condos 

I fun outdoor venue

The bean!


Sure does it not look as appetizing as it did in Harold in Kumar 

I had been waiting years for this moment and yes the beer was great!

Exploring Montreal

That would be hard to take yourself seriously in

One of the many walking streets which make the town quite enjoyable to explore

Cool waterfront condos

Thought this was a cool waterfront picture with the old abandoned warehouse and a salon in a retrofitted barge
The view of Montreal from Mount Royal 

The Canada Goose Expedition Jacket

A fun street fair that I just happened to come upon

TAM-TAM...an interesting drum circle that occurs every Sunday

This may look familiar to you if you have seen the movie Role Models

Putien...a classic Montreal dish 

Piknic Electronik an electronic music festival which plays every Sunday during the summer 

The hostel

One of the many entrances to the massive underground city

What's left of the road to the trail-head ...I should have taken that as an indicator of what the trail might be like
