Old Town Montréal
August 16, 2011, day 93
Tuesday morning we drive from our campground to the inner city of Montréal, "Vieux Montréal". It takes us over an hour to drive the about 60 km. On Hwy 20 and 720 we drive right into the city and find a good parking spot for the day on Peel and Saint Antoine Street ( $ 10.00 for the day ). From here it is about a 3 km walk to the Westin Hotel where we will meet up with the kids later.
Ouch, that haircut was just a bit to close |
Anders and I look at each other and decide that we are in dire need to get groomed for civilization. We walk up the the huge Mont Royal Shopping Center. We do some shopping. Then both Anders and I are getting hair cuts.
Anders' cut is very short, ouch. I assume the stylist misunderstood Anders. His french is pretty well limited to "Vin Rouge". Oh well, it grows out again.
Produce at a local market |
We just love these markets. |
A great market to visit. |
After our hair cuts (no smiles from Anders) and shopping we simply walk the town and take in the interesting architecture and people. Around the Court House we detect a sign: " A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the Judge!" That almost beats the New Brunswick sign in a farmers field "Get high on our milk, our cows are on grass".

Later we drive back to our campsite. It even takes us longer, the traffic out of town is very slow.
Rain shower again. |
