Canadian Parks and Friends

Our last full day in Montreal starts with a trip to a beautiful park with Leigh and Scarlett, continues with Francois, and ends with sushi.

 At Parc du Mont Royal.

The view.

Amazing.

So happy to be with this lady. We miss her and her family.

 Figuring out our plan.

Kids.

Friends since a few weeks after birth.

Canadian fields.

Playground. 

Next it was off to find a friend who recently left us for Montreal.  We found him at a coffee shop.  Todd was thrilled to see Francois.

Todd manages to completely freak out and confuse ILMers back home by showing up in a video chat from Francois' company, Hybride.

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.

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.
