sunshine in montreal: sights at sites

One thing I loved about Montreal is that there are so many awesome tourist sites that I would visit regularly if I lived in the city. Unlike Toronto, where some of the biggest tourist attractions, Hockey Hall of Fame, CN Tower, or a really weird double decker sight seeing bus, are sights that Torontonians never go to.

A typical day of the trip:
1. Wake up.

  

2. Decide to take the subway, or walk it in the cold.. 

 3. Despite the freezing cold -20 C temperature, the walking option usually won. This is Jon's footstep, next to mine. I think this might be two left feet... lol.

 

But check out the cool architecture of the city. It's a refreshing change from Toronto's mishmash, right. These photos are all on a walk to Mont Royal.

 

4. Then finally get to the location!
Traveling is funny... most of the time is just spent trying to get there, but it's always worth it.

 

5. Sort of rinse and repeat. The images below are from the Notre-Dame Basilica, apparently, among the most dramatic in the world. It did not dissappoint. 

 

 

6. Often, we'll end the night in Old Montreal for some delicious food.
