For the past few days I've been in Montreal, getting away from sunny Florida. While there will be plenty to update on, there's no time like the present.
And in this present, and speaking of presents, Montreal has one for all the inhabitants of itself. Every Saturday night at the Old Port downtown, there is a free fireworks show (also, free hot chocolate for all who walk by). This years (and tonight's) theme was video games, with explosions choreographed to Mario, Angry Birds, Final Fantasy, and Mortal Kombat (possibly another, but I drew a blank). Also, as a bonus, they're set right over an ice skating rink. Win win.
