One day in Montreal
1. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ 🌬 22 °C
I woke up early so thought that I might as well head to Old Montreal. The hotel was close to the airport, but there was a bus stop right outside my hotel. I took an express bus to the subway station and then the subway to the middle of Old Montreal. I was in front of Notre Dame by 7:30, and the bus, subway and streets were still pretty much empty. That was the way to do it!

When I found out that I would have one day in Montreal, I went online and got a ticket to get inside Notre Dame and was one of the first ones in line when it opened at 9:30. The rest of the morning I spent walking around the old part of the town. It is really different from Quebec City. The buildings are much bigger and even the old part of the city feels like a big city. I would like to go back to see more some day, but it was nice to get a chance to see something.

I left four hours for check in and customs at the airport thinking that it could be as crazy as it had been the night before, but I didn’t need that much time. As I was sitting at the gate, I realized that my seat was in Zone 1. I had a feeling that might be Business Class and sure enough, I looked at the seat map for the plane online and that’s where I was. In addition , I got an email from Hopper, and because of my missed connection, they refunded the entire cost of my plane ticket. Not a bad way to end the trip!Lue lisää

Finally a flight!
1. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ 🌬 22 °C
I spent my last day wandering around to some of my favorite places and had coffee down in Place Royal. That morning I got an email from Air Canada saying that they had been able to get me on the direct flight from Montreal to Minneapolis on Thursday night. So I canceled my rebooked flight through Hopper and made plans for part of the next day in Old Montreal.

I had a last meal on the terrace of the monastery and then my taxi came to bring me to the airport. I probably would not have needed to have gotten there even 2 hours early. The airport is small to begin with and it was absolutely dead when I got there. I was a little concerned that there was no one else at my gate even 15 minutes before boarding but the agent from another airline told me that I might ber the only one on the flight!

It turned out that the flight came from somewhere else. Some people got off the plane but others stayed on and continued to Montreal.

The airport at Montreal was crazy when I landed. The baggage claim was FULL of unclaimed luggage.

Fortunately the hotel I booked was close to the airport and had a hotel shuttle because the lines for Uber and taxis were so long.Lue lisää

Last night in Quebec City
29. kesäkuuta 2022, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
Much of my afternoon was spent trying to rebook my flights since I was informed that my flight to Montreal was canceled. Air Canada had so many calls that they weren’t even putting people on hold. I finally got through but was told the wait time would be over 2 hours. I waited for an hour and a half and then went to my yoga class.

I decided to wait until morning and try to rebook through Hopper, the app that I used to buy my ticket.

I had a quiet evening walking around and finding some new treasures that I hadn’t seen before.Lue lisää

Imagine Monet Immersive Exhibit
29. kesäkuuta 2022, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Yesterday morning after my guided walk with the monastery I went to the Monet immersive exhibit. I wouldn’t necessarily have chosen to go in Quebec, however it was part of a museum pass that I bought. It was in a big warehouse area down by the port. It was fun to see althought I didn’t think it was as good as Van Gogh.Lue lisää

Cat cafe (again!)
28. kesäkuuta 2022, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
I had supper with my cat friends at the cat cafe. This time they were all fighting over the best bed in the window where the sun was shining in.

A quiet morning at the Monastere
28. kesäkuuta 2022, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Yesterday was just the second rainy day of the trip, and it really only rained until noon and then cleared up. We had a very wet guided walk in the morning. This time she took us up to the Ursuline museum and talked about the friends of the Augustinian Sisters. The Ursulines and the Augustinians made a pact to always help each other out.

Since it was so rainy I stayed at the monastere and saw the rest of the museum. The first part of the museum is dedicated to the founders and the process of becoming a nun. The rest is more about the hospital that they founded and medicine.Lue lisää

An evening walk
26. kesäkuuta 2022, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
After supper I walked down to the water, where it was much cooler. On one of my walks this week I learned that Quebec means “the place where the river narrows”. The French were able to put cannons up on the cliff because the river was narrow enough there where they could actually hit British ships.Lue lisää

Supper on the terrace
26. kesäkuuta 2022, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
I decided to eat supper at the monastery after yoga tonight. I had one other meal here besides the breakfasts, and the food is delicious. The best part was that there was no one else eating out on the terrace tonight so I got the view all to myself!Lue lisää

Yoga and more
26. kesäkuuta 2022, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
When I came here I did not plan to take yoga classes every day. I signed up for one free class for International yoga class on June 21, but then the hotel sent me information about signing in, and I decided to try a few classes. I was going to do either one morning meditative walk or one yoga class per day, but when I got to the monastery I decided to sign up for both classes all five days. It has been worth it. The classes and walks are excellent and no more than 6 participants have been in a class, usually just 3 or 4!

The yoga classes are all in the vault, which is a really beautiful space.Lue lisää

Le Monastere des Augustines
26. kesäkuuta 2022, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
After getting my clothes back from the laundromat, I took the bus back up to the market to get maple syrup. It was a quick trip this time since I had already been there the other day.

I hadn’t spent time in the museum at the monastery yet so took some time to do that when I got back. Three Augustinian nuns came from France in 1639 and started the first hospital in North America. The hospital is still here, or a later version of it since most things burnt down at least once in Quebec. It is attached to the monastery, although you would never know. I can’t hear any of the noise or commotion you would expect being right next to a big hospital> One wall of it actually shares the inner courtyard, although no one comes out here from the hospital.

The museum has lots of early artifacts and beautiful displays. I didn’t have time to get through all of them before my yoga class so will have to go back tomorrow!Lue lisää
