Sarah and I visited Montreal for the first time. We drove around at first and then lucked out when we stumbled across old Montreal and found a metered parking spot in the middle of it.  We wander through the over price shops, the museums and even found some reasonable shops.  Through windows in a museum Sarah spotted the performance tent for Cirque Du Soleil.  The show Varekai was sold out.  We vowed not to let another show go by here with on seeing on.  We were fortunate enough to see SantimBanco in McLean, VA about 7 years earlier.
