Montreal-Day 1&2

So we are finally back from a 6 day trip to Montreal. Jeff had a Conference and I just went along for the trip. When we landed on Saturday it was a cool 74 degrees, which was soo nice to have the break from the 115 degrees we left in Charleston.
We arrived, made it to the hotel, and first ventured to the grocery store for some snacks and wine and beer for the room! Priorities, right!?
We then decided we would walk up to St. Laurent for a dinner at Globe.
I had heard about this place the year before, but we never went. It did live up to its expectations, but we were a little disappointed in the service that evening. She appeared to be more concerned with how revealing her top was, and how short her skirt was than making sure we were taken care of. But good non-the-less. We took a walk up and down St. Laurent, as they close the street on Saturdays and all the restaurants poor out into the streets, there is music and street vendors galore.
Then it was back to the hotel, where we went up to the Club Lounge, and out on the balcony of the 23rd floor, for the Firework Show, over the Old Port. This year we watched Spain, with a bottle of wine, for the 30 minute display. Lovely, indeed!

Sunday - Day 2 - Father's Day!
We slept in and then got ready and ventured down to the Old Port area. We were going to Cirque Du Soleil!!! YAY!
The Show Ovo, was Amazing! The acrobatics is just crazy, it made me want to get back in the gym and stretch and practice my gymnastics again, join yoga, and just about anything flexible!

After the show, it was on to Jacques Square, to sit outside at one of the many restaurants, watch the street performers in the square and people watch. Enjoy a good Beer and some snacks for a late lunch.


You could even rent one of these little bicycle "cars" to tour around the port...I took my turn! :)
