Old Montreal












Here are some good images from old Montreal.

Cirque d Soleil show OVO is great. The tents are located on the pier in Old Montreal.

Tourist



Okay we are the ultimate tourists. Yes - we took the open decker tour bus around Montreal. It was a lot of fun - except for the brief showers.

Montreal Botanical Gardens











It really is a must to visit the botanical gardens in Montreal. They are terrific.

Montreal Day Two




Waking up to cooler weather is real fun! Texas' temperatures are reaching 100 degrees - and Canada still hoovers around 70 or so. Yes. This is good weather even if a bit rainy.

Today - we have plans to enjoy the Montreal botanical gardens. But before we got started - we ran visited the Governor's house located close to our hotel in Old Montreal.

Montreal Day 1

Storms delayed our arrival to Montreal. Once we landed - we discovered the airport had been closed for over 1 hour due to thunderstorms. Luckily - Barbara was delayed too. So we text messaged each other from the runway while both our pilots waited on a gate. Funny, sad and a LONG day.

Hotel D Armes







Pictures from the lobby at the Hotel D Armes in old Montreal

Hotel Place D Armes




We enjoy this hotel located in the heart of Old Montreal. We are in room 1505 - building one. It is a nice room. Although I would prefer a different wing of the hotel. This one shares the elevator with the very popular rooftop club 701.
