    Someone recently posted that I haven't posting any Montreal driving pics.
    Well, here are a few with IWC content mixed in!!!!!!

    So I had to head downtown on Wednesday:

    I actually backed up, turned the car around, and took this photo of the sign in front of this house. You can't make this stuff up, LOL!!!!!!!

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Driving%2011/L1150480_zps5ebc27d7.jpg

    At least I should be back at the office just in time for lunch!

    Overcast day:

    I'd hate to have been a passenger on this bus :-(

    Last December a close friend and watchmaker passed away. This was the first time that I visited his workshop since then and found it to be emotional ;-(

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Driving%2011/L1150504_zps0ee4eb72.jpg

    The workshop is near the Molson Center where the Montreal Canadiens play and he was well known to them. Here are some hanging photos that the team photographer put together and gave back to hang on the wall..........

    (miss you Hans)

    Crap, it started raining on the way back to the office!

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Driving%2011/L1150508_zpsba3f6779.jpg

    You may have heard me say this before about Montreal, but we have two (2) seasons here, Winter and Construction, LOL!!!!!!!!!!

    More construction today on my way out for lunch in Little Italy:

    This is an old church that has been converted to condominiums, very cool concept!

    The best way to end a great lunch........................

    Imagine, a UPS and Fed Ex delivery truck. It just made me wonder how many watches might be "on the truck for delivery", LOL.................

    Nad - I don't know how you do it but you managed to make me enjoy your commute. Though, frankly, if I were you I'd be lounging by your pool instead of going to work. Bonne journée.

    Nice whimsical photo series Nad. "Objects are Closer Than they Appear" seems to be a fitting mantra here. Love it!
