How to do Spring Break: Montreal Edition
Tufts let off from school last Friday, so three of my best friends and I packed up a car and headed five hours north, right across the Canadian border. Destination: Montreal, the French-speaking spring break destination of choice for many, many Jumbos.

Saturday
We booked a Montreal hotel, splitting the room and gas four ways.
The drive up north went smoothly, with a quick rest stop a small Vermont town left over from the colonial era. Crossing the Canadian border was uneventful; just make sure you have your passports, and you're good to go (they don't stamp them, though!). Suddenly, the street signs went French and the miles became kilometers.
Throw in a 3-day metro pass ($16 for unlimited 3-day travel), a quick stop at an ATM, and fully charged digital cameras, and we were ready to explore the city. We spent Saturday night exploring Old Montreal, learning the metro system, and eating crepes. Délicieux!
