    Five years or so ago, I rollerskied along a long stretch of bike path in Montreal that ran along the canal out to some point with a sculpture park where the canal joined the St. Lawrence.

    Thanks John. Beautifully conjures up fond memories of Montreal. Happily remember boating the LaChine Rapids, and hearing French on one side of the street and English on t’other.
