Old Montreal
0 Miles
We had a full day of sight-seeing planned, but the weather really didn't lend itself to walking to the top of Mont Royal, or really anything outside, so we headed to the Basilica of Montreal to get a look inside.
"Wow" was about all we could get out of our mouths before we were swept along with a group for a tour. We managed to break away after a while and checked out the church on our own.
Historically significant, incredible architecture, wonderful stained glass everywhere, but the thing that stuck out most...
...were the radiators in front of the front pew. Apparently, they had discovered a great way to get people to sit up front on those cold Canadian Sundays!
After church was a visit to a local fish and chips place.
and then more wandering and dashing in and out between showers.
Along one of the side streets, we discovered how Montrealians really roll.
We topped the evening off with the most French food we could find - fondue and crepes,
and ended the night with another walk past the Basilica and back to our hotel. We agreed that Montreal was another place to add to our "have to come back to someday" list.
