Multiculturalism at its Best

Yesterday Josh and I headed north for an afternoon jaunt in Montreal. I had a blast (i.e. we actually reached all planned destinations at the correct times without getting lost) as we gallivanted around the Cuban Art exhibit at the Musee des Beaux-Arts and then caught the screening of the documentary "Koolhaus Houselife" at the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

Both experiences were terribly enjoyable but the truly great moment occurred when Josh turned to me after the documentary had finished and said:

"So let me get this straight - we drove to Montreal to see a Cuban art exhibit and a movie made by Italians about a Dutch architect who built a house in France with a Spanish housekeeper?"

Indeed we did. This to me is multiculturalism at its best.
