Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Montreal

Well, we're ending our month long adventure in Montreal.
Another early morning just over 2 hour flight to Montreal.

I got everyone a room at the Four Seasons. Today is our last day of continent hopping. So let's go out in style.

The BCoF bloggers went on a different adventure so over dinner you need to tell them what they've missed and go back to one of their blog entries and tell them what you liked.

Montreal

The two hour flight to Canada was not to bad. A restful flight looking down at clouds. The Four Seasons Hotel is grand. It has all the luxury a tourist could want. I think I would like to stick close to Sandra Lyn during our walking tour. She may know lots of things a native would be able to tell us.

I viewed the Insectitorium Museum. It was a special place. I liked the exhibits and viewing the many different displays of insects was enlightening.

I also checked in on the Olympic Park Scavenger Hunt. I always did like scavenger hunts. This one uses the hunt as a way to show tourists some of Montreal. Some of the places on the hunt include Botanical Gardens, a monument to the 375th anniversary on Montreal, Chateau Dufresne, and the planetarium.

After lunch we took that tour of old Montreal. Like many large cities Montreal has its' old and new parts. I guess the Olympic Park is one of the new parts.

The Tandem was a surprise. I ordered the salmon. There serving many smaller portions is fun because you get to sample different flavors. I wondered if being able to bring your own wine is unique or I'm just ignorant about fine dining?

Our tour is over. Time to go back home. Once again I come away with more knowledge about other countries than I had before.
