Jazzing it up in Montreal

As you can see by the title of this entry we have arrived in Montreal, along with thousands of others who are attending the "Festival International de Jazz" which is on here from the 28th June until 8th July. A quick glance at the programme highlights such names as Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. Our arrival here late yesterday afternoon coincided with the celebrations for Canada Day so we took the opportunity to walk down to the port and listen to the music and watch the fireworks display last evening.

Now backtracking some what. Our flight from Auckland to San Francisco was delayed due to difficulties with the lighting but still gave us plenty of time for our connection to Calgary. We spent the night in this lovely green city before our flight the next day here to the french speaking city of Montreal. We survived all the new security measures and provided one keeps ones patience and sense of humour it's not too bad.
