Old Montreal

More from our day of exploration in Old Montreal.

The wall on the right is what remains of the original wall around the fort that was Montreal in way back.

Lunch!

Wandering with two kids has gotten much more fun.

Watch out pedestrians!

Welcome to Europe...wait...Montreal.

Later, in another part of the city, we got dinner at Schwartz's, a famous deli.

Smoked meat sandwich...delish!

Montreal? Oui!

We started our one big trip of the summer with a visit to Montreal to see fabulous friends and check out the sites.  For reasons not worth explaining, we started our adventure in Boston where we got a care and drove across the border to Montreal.  

First, a quick stop at our cool hotel in the heart of the Old Montreal.

 Then a very important visit to Leigh, Kyle and their whole family to say hello after far too long.  I also was charged with delivering this baseball signed by SF Giants pitcher, Bumgarner.  You could say that Leigh is very excited about the baseball and mildly excited about having us there.

Dinner with the family at their Montreal home.

The next day we started exploring Old Montreal.

Amazing pastries for breakfast.

Yum!

Having fun.

 Montreal's Notre Dame.

 Impressive inside.

Dexter thought of someone he wanted to send love to and lit a candle.
