    Today, after a good night's sleep at the Montréal Marriott Chateau Champlain Hotel (after arriving in Montreal the night before), and after finishing the morning buffet breakfast, we took a short walk to the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus near the Rue Sainte-Cathrine.

    10 stops and 2 hours later, we were back where we started from. We took lunch at Dunn's restaurant...poutine city!

    Then we hopped on the HOHO bus to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The Kent Mockman exhibit was the most interesting, depicting the oppression of indigenous people and two-spirit beliefs.

    We then stopped at the Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral. Wow, huge basilica.

    Still not done, we took dinner at the Stolles Restaurant. Fine dining. 18,000 steps for the day!    Read more
