Growing up in the burbs of Montreal I don’t recall Wellington being one of the city’s great streets. It was always quaint and a little run down.

After hearing that our very own Wellington was named a Top Street in the World, … Read More
Back in the saddle. It’s been five years already since Baharak, Kasm and I returned from a life changing adventure. We took our then nine year old son out of elementary school and spent a year traveling around the world with him. It ended up being a four-continent, twenty-five country trip of a lifetime.

Whether it’s sunny or rainy, crowded … Read More

Our stay was at the cozy Casa Verde (highly recommended, Spanish website but they will chat with you in … Read More
