Spring Break in Canada, Family Music

On our way back from Montreal to New York we stayed with my cousin Audrey and her husband Mark. Audrey is my grandfather's sister's daughter. I should add that I really like my Canadian family and I only wish that we got to see them more often. Some of my fondest childhood memories were in Montreal with my family up there.

In any case, Mark plays guitar in a band and that night was the night that his band practiced at their house. So we got to enjoy some more music that made me think I was back down in Georgia. Strange to hear all that country sounding music so far north. And for that matter, the Sugar Shack we went do made some amazing pork rinds's.

Also, Audrey took us for a tour of some of the buildings that my great grandfather used to own as well as a couple that he built. And we got to go to a bagel shop to buy some Montreal Bagels. As New Yorkers, it is hard to enjoy a bagel outside of New York, but Montreal has some amazing bagels. It's difficult to say which place makes them better, but we did buy 24 bagels to bring home to New York.
