Montreal Weekend

My husband, Butch, and I spent Labor Day weekend in Montreal, Canada. We met up with our friends, Arnel & Josie, who brought along their friend, Thel, and her son, Matthew. Arnel suggested Montreal for it's old world architectures and coble stone streets.

First stop was the Notre Dame Basilica. Such a magnificent Church. Heard it is very beautiful inside, unfortunately we were not able to go inside because there was a long line and the others are not quite interested in going in anyways. I still regret that I did not insist in going inside.

Place Jacques-Cartier  is a public square in true European tradition where people gather to sit on patios, browse the wares of local artists and craftspeople and otherwise mingle [about.com]



The Montréal Botanical Garden, located just minutes from downtown Montréal, right near the Biodôme and Olympic Park, offers a world of colors and fragrances for visitors to enjoy. Ranked as one of the largest of its kind in the world, the Montréal Botanical Garden is a veritable living museum of plants from the four corners of the Earth.

Our favorites: the Chinese Gardens and the Japanese Gardens

The weekend was oh so tiring with all the walking, but oh so fun!
