Montreal Workation
On a spontaneous road trip to Montreal, prompted by the need to decommission a server network, I found myself captivated by the city's allure. Beyond the task at hand, my evenings were filled with delightful explorations of the local cuisine and vibrant nightlife that Montreal had to offer.
Embarking on this impromptu Montreal escapade was like hitting the jackpot – a mix of tech mission and a delectable culinary adventure. My taste buds had a rendezvous with greatness at Charcuterie Hebraique de Montreal, where I embraced the legendary Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Each bite was a savory symphony of flavors that could turn anyone into an instant aficionado. This city sure knew how to start things off with a delectable bang!
Nestled in the heart of this bustling urban landscape was the Bonaventura Hotel, my plush abode for this whirlwind experience. Picture this: an outdoor pool, smack dab in the middle of winter. It was a surreal scene, the sensation of warm water mingling with frosty air. Splashing around as snowflakes gently fell was like living in a whimsical snow globe – a touch of magic amid the urban hustle.
But let's not forget why I journeyed to this vibrant city in the first place – the server network decommission. With the techie tasks ticked off, I was set free to explore Montreal and its majestic Mount Royal. Gazing out over the city from this vantage point was like having the whole metropolis laid out before me, a tapestry of lights and life. The picturesque view was well worth the effort to hike up, and my gym sessions at the hotel thankfully paid off.
Oh, the weather gods were on my side! The sun-soaked days turned the 6-hour drive from Toronto into a scenic pleasure ride. Windows down, tunes up, and endless picturesque landscapes rolling by – the journey became an integral part of the adventure.
Of course, the culinary journey didn't stop at the smoked meat revelation. Breakfasts were crowned with delectable egg benedict creations that felt like edible poetry. Each morning, a new ode to breakfast perfection.
But all journeys eventually lead back home. As I packed up the servers and gear, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. A tech mission turned memorable experience – I was taking home more than just equipment.
And then came the grand finale – a night at New City Gas. The rhythm of Dash Berlin's music electrified the air, and the camaraderie of friends made the night a legendary chapter in my memory. The stars had aligned, bringing me and my Toronto buddies together under Montreal's night sky.
So, to those craving adventure, flavor, and unforgettable nights, Montreal beckons. The siren call of Montreal smoked meat sandwiches and the pulsating beats of New City Gas are waiting to make your journey one for the books. After all, it's not just about servers and networks; it's about savoring life in every way possible.
