After a hike in Montebello and a refreshing swim and a lazy afternoon afterwards, Alison wanted strawberries. So I thought we’d take an earlie exit and go to the Jean-Talon market, which is located in Montréal’s Little Italy. However, on the evening of the World Cup soccer final that turned out to be a very bad idea. Especially when Italy has won.
We found out the hard way, because all streets were filled with crazed out supporters and all side roads leading to our part of town were closed off by the police. It took us more than an hour to get home, and we didn’t even have strawberries.
