Montreal choices

Our trip started by moving my mother-in-law back to her assisted apartment in Boston. By the evening in Montreal, so we weren't trying to go anywhere, and our son made dinner.
Thursday, "Ballroom Blitz" 15 piece Swing band was playing at St. Paul's Pub in the old city, "Vieux Montreal", narrow cobblestone streets by the port. We found an excellent restaurant with old world service, so we got to the pub at 11:00. Terrific Lindy Hop dancers were the show in front of the band, but they had room for a couple of East Coast swing dancers over by the side. The band quit at 12:00.
Friday, La Tohu, the circus school in the north of the city, driving distance, had a Salsa band and Fiesta free from 8 to 11. Dave took us to an Indian restaurant in the cheap part of town and came along for the party. As we arrived at 9:15, the band was closing up. I thought another band would come on or they would come back, but for the first time ever, a Salsa band was early. Dancers continued with some very nice recorded music. A few good dancers and a bunch of non-dancers enjoying the music, but not the huge crowd we had experienced at a salsa party downtown a few years ago.
I miss Do Re Mi.
