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.

OVO

Tickets are purchased. Yes. One itinerary item down - about Fifty to go.

Montreal Bound

It is time to make plans for our upcoming trip to Montreal Canada. This year - Barbara will join us. The Montreal Jazz Festival [http://www.montrealjazzfest.com/ ]will be on-going during our visit again this year. Also, good news - Cirque du Soleil newest show called OVO will be showing near our hotel! I am a huge fan. On my last trip to Las Vegas I saw 4 Cirque du Soleil shows in 3 nights. It was a blast.
