Montreal, Quebec 3

Last day of our short trip to Montreal. We wandered over to the old town for some sight seeing in the morning. 





 We decided to be really touristy and take a carriage ride. :D








 Then we had lunch at the Jardin Nelson. Which is one of our family's favourite places to eat.

 Their specialties include salads and crepes.


 Then we toured a bit around the markets.



 Then we took a jaunt over to this Architecture building, to take a look at their WW2 exhibit.

Then we drove home. It was a short trip, but I had loads of fun. :D







Next up: Tremblant, Quebec (Winter)

Montreal, Quebec 2

 After the fashion exhibit at Musée des Beaux Arts we had a nice lunch.


 Then we took a trip to visit the Biosphere on the old Expo site.







 Inside the Biosphere, much to our surprise we found another fashion exhibit, only this one was made entirely of trash. All the items here would be found in landfill.













 Then we ventured out to the roof.





We also visited this neat housing complex that was used as living quarters during the Olympics (if memory serves me correctly).


 Then on to fancy dinner! :D



I was barely quick enough on that last photo... ;P
