My friend Rob from McGill U. said: "Of course we can get to Mont Royal Parc, follow me, it's a really short walk this way."
That little short walk turned into a 2 hour trek through 160,000+ tombstones, 3 religious denominations, a crematorium (creepy), 100 ft. in elevation change and some gorgeously quiet scenery...in fact, I would venture to say it was dead quiet.
But c'mon!!! Two hours? This is a lesson for all of you. When a guy friend says trust me, it's this way, don't unless you want to get somewhere the long way! Well worth a visit...although you might want to do so on a bicycle.
