Go to Montreal for the Martin Luther King Holiday

If you are thinking on what to do with this long weekend, consider going to Montreal.

The Martin Luther King holiday falls on the third Monday of January, which is around the date of King's birth day, January 15.

Many U.S. citizens observe MLK holiday by going to services or just by staying home with the family, but many others take this extended weekend as an opportunity to get away from the city and relax in an different environment.

For the next holiday, consider going to Montreal. Going to Montreal is stepping into a totally different culture, just step away from the U.S. Residents from Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts and New York are only a few hours away. 

Graffiti on the Plateau as a tourist attraction and a pleasure for the locals

As I met my friend Lynda Lyn at the bus station she confessed that her new thing was to photograph street graffiti. I have been walking by this walls for years and my eyes have become immune to the art displayed on the street. Some of this art has been commissioned, some of it is illegal, some of it is beautiful and some is an act of vandalism on  someone else's property.

Thank you Lynda for taking such wonderful photos.

Here are some of the of the pieces that a traveler could expect to find in the streets.

Corner of Saint Laurent and Pine

Rue vielleneuve

My favorite Portuguese Restaurant on Saint Lauaren and Duluth

Duluth Street

Hemp Products

In this Building you can find Dance Conmigo

Chez Jose. You have to have coffee there. 

This is my favorite on Duluth and Hotel de Ville.
