Vieux-Montreal (Old Montreal)

My feet hurt!!  We went back to Montreal today, and walked all over.  We like figuring out how to get around a new place, so we took the Metro from the suburbs into the heart of Montreal.  Montreal has an extensive underground, with several areas of multi-level underground shopping malls. They are connected to the Metro, so in bad weather you'd never have to go out on the street.  We explored one of the areas, then went up into the sunshine and walked to Old Montreal, through part of downtown, through Chinatown, and on to the harbor.   Montreal has several areas that appear to be designed just for outdoor entertainment and festivals.

We explored Old Montreal more than we had been able to do when we were there before.  There were more street performers, artists and musicians on the streets today, probably because it's the beginning of the weekend.

We especially love all the street cafes, and we discovered they have great sangria in Montreal!

We looked at lots of art, and I picked out a watercolor that I liked.

The picture I bought is a watercolor of this street --  very typical of the area.

Tomorrow is our last day in this area, so we're going back up north to Mont Tremblant National Park to enjoy the natural beauty of the area and maybe find a couple of not too long hiking trails.  Then it's time to pack up and head for Quebec City.
