Sightseeing in Old Montreal



Wednesday was day one of two off in Montreal. After sleeping in late :-) we had breakfast and hopped on the subway 2 blocks from Pat's place. About 10 stops later we were downtown checking out the sights. Several nice churches and old buildings mixed in with a modern downtown. The waterfront is well developed with a number of things to look at. Another fun coincidence - while walking along the waterfront we saw a couple that we had seen in a restaurant 2 nights before in Quebec City. They turned out to be from Wisconsin.

Had some very nice coffee and later a great lunch. We have yet to have anything less than great food in Quebec. Checked out McGill University (for English speaking students) and caught the subway back home. Pat is working part time at a local bike shop and we hopped on the Surlys for a ride over to see him and chat with the guys.

Finished the day with dinner at a neighborhood restaurant with Pat and his family. Was a little chilly on the walk back home. Looks like highs around 70 for the next several days. Sounds great!

  1. We're just finishing up those wonderful Argentinian Moon Pies. Yum.

    Don't forget to try out the bar laitiers (dairy bars) and the flouteurs (soft serve ice cream on top of a slushy=brain freeze).
