Adventures in Québec: Day 10, Montréal

November 22, 2012 //

For our first full day in Montréal, we met up with some friends who were visiting from Toronto. We enjoyed some yummy crêpes in Vieux-Montréal at a café called Muru, wandered around in Chinatown, explored Musée des Beaux-Arts (which is free for the permanent exhibits) and then left our friends and had delicious salads for dinner at M Café.

Pretty little crêpe café in Vieux-Montréal: Muru.

Montréal pigeons look different from Victoria pigeons.

Macaroons in the display case at M Café. Mmmmmm.

Adventures in Québec: Day 9, First evening in Montréal

November 21, 2012 //

Upon arriving in Montréal, we couldn’t have been more delighted with our hotel: Le St Sulpice, Hôtel Montréal, 414 Saint-Sulpice in the heart of Vieux Montréal. The lobby was gorgeous, staff friendly and helpful, our room large, quiet, clean and very well appointed. Our five nights there were perfect. Once we settled in, we headed out for dinner. The lovely woman at the front desk recommended a very nice place just around the corner called Modavie. We were seated right away, and altho we couldn’t see it, we were able to enjoy listening to the live jazz which was performing on the second floor part of the restaurant.

Adventures in Québec: Day 5, Montmorency River

November 12, 2012 //

After we bundled up, my cousin took us and his sweet dog for a walk along the Montmorency River, just above the famous falls. There were a lot of icicles around the edges of the river. It was a perfect crisp and clear day.

As we came off the path to the river’s edge there were so many icicles hanging from the rocks and branches along the shore. These I liked with the red berries behind.

And more.

More pretty icicles.

This is Jasper; we love him.

Adventures in Québec: Day 3

The highlight of our second full day in Hudson, apart from hanging out with most excellent family, was a walk in a wooded area near my cousin’s house. We saw sugar maples and much beauty.
