    Jim, one of my highlights of Montreal was taking the Metro to the now defunct Major League Baseball team, the Montreal Expos Olympic Stadium. No longer a team. They moved and are now the Washington Nationals.

    I didn't know about the museum card. You've convinced me I need to get one the next time I find myself in Montreal. Lots of great tips here.
