we just got back home a couple of hours ago.
the laundry is ON.
Montreal is lovely. my favourite part is definately old Montreal (Vieux-Montreal).
The Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montreal (Our Lady of Montreal Basilica) was the highlight I think. It opened in 1829 and everything in it is on a grand scale. Celine Dion was married there and Pierre Trudeau's funeral was held there. It's rather jaw dropping -- and not in a garish way.
The shopping was also quite amazing. St. Catherine's Street, plus the underground shopping was great. The citizens are very friendly and extremely accomodating in switching to English if you do not speak French. Vic and I found that our high school french left something to be desired. French immersion for Sophie is looking like more of a possibility.
Here are some photos.
