Day 22 - Magnificent Montreal

Okay, this is NOT Fredericton. This is Old Montreal. This gorgeous angel in lights is just one of three that adorn the glorious Notre Dame Basilica which is located just two blocks from our hotel.

We've been in this beautiful city for less than six hours and we've already had a fantastic lunch of Chinese food, a fun walk through part of Chinatown, a coffee break featuring mochaccino and chocolate croissant from Reza (see small photo below), and then a quick tour of some of Old Montreal's interesting shops.

Now we're back at the Hotel Nelligan, enjoying a glass of wine and resting up for an evening out. Too bad it's so cold. No colder than New Brunswick, I think, but still pretty darned cold.

Tomorrow, we have an entire day to explore the city and find two more great restaurants to please our palates.

We had planned to check out the various museums and galleries that are sprinkled around the city but, after seeing so many fabulous shops right here in Old Montreal, we're serious considering giving the official places a miss and just wondering the shops. Of course, we are hopeful of finding a nice jazz club and maybe some live comedy to enjoy as well.

Ahhh Montreal...
