Montreal - Vive le français!

The following week was spent in Montreal with my grade 12 class and we had a great time despite all the rain.  We left early Monday morning and came home late afternoon on Thursday.  Events of the week included a walking tour of the old Port, hanging out at the Seafarer's Centre, a sound and light show in the Notre Dame basilica, a tour of St. Joseph's Oratory, a bike tour, shopping in the massive underground mall, and eating a LOT of French cuisine :)  I was disappointed that the Amphi-bus tour was cancelled and then later that same night so was the dinner theatre, but we found ways to enjoy our time there!  Hope you enjoy the pictures!

 On the way there - nice and cozy! :)

 Inside the basilica - a little too gaudy in my opinion

 We love crepes - what more can I say? :)
