THE CITY AND THE ATHLETES

THE CITY AND THE ATHLETES -  By Bernard Bujold - The Old Montreal area was literally invaded on Saturday, June 29, 2019 by athletes participating in a world triathlon competition. No car traffic during the whole day on Saturday, the Canada Day long weekend....  Never panic and it is said that after the storm there is always calm and harmony. And we must recognize that sports organizers are disciplined!  Indeed, as announced, exactly at 6 p.m. Saturday, the police officers removed the barriers and if they had required a long work week to be installed, in less than an hour they had disappeared, much to the delight of many residents.  Congratulations to the athletes and above all, have a good trip to your next competition in Germany, in Hamburg, on July 6 and 7!  SEE PHOTOS

Personally, I therefore conclude, with my ageing, that the greatest wealth of human remains its youth, but that the ideal would be to be able to think and understand life from the age of 23, as we can do at the age of 73! At an advanced age, we will no longer jump by reflex in front of red or blue balloons (unless it is Ulysses who offers them to us...) and we will better understand the essentials of life.  They say that life is a journey and, if you want to see and do everything at first, at the end of the journey you will be happy to have realized one or two holiday projects. As I often say: the great tragedy of life is that 95% of our projects (our adventu

THE OLD PORT OF MONTREAL - SUMMER 2019 - By Bernard Bujold - The Old Port of Montréal has come back to life and the holiday season has begun. Among the new features is that the beach, which is actually chairs set up under umbrellas in the sand along the river, is now free except on fireworks nights. Ulysses is very happy to be able to enjoy magnificent walks near the water and he particularly loves to greet his friends the seagulls...  Have a good summer 2019!  SEE PHOTOS
