A few years ago I took a three-week trip through the east of Canada with my husband, sister, and her husband. Our destination was Saint Andrews, New Brunswick, and we started in Montreal. We stayed in a hostel in Old Montreal; it was a bit shabby and had a congenial hippy atmosphere, though we were clearly getting a little bit too old to be staying in a youth hostel, because the extremely laid-back atmosphere and anything-goes organisation caused us some irritation. For breakfast we went to a most charming café nearby. It was in a New World French style, lovely cheerful colours, home-made croissants, lots of people reading the newspaper on Sunday morning, and everyone with a typical Montreal bowl of café au lait.
