I’m just going to start off saying that we love Canada. The people are so friendly and helpful and it is beautiful.
We started off by taking the subway into Montreal. Everything is only in French. A nice man helped us buy tickets properly and we walked right into the subway just before it left. Coolest subway ever! It was super clean and all the cars were connected and open on the inside. It looked like an infinity mirror when you looked down the train.
We first went to Notre-Dame Basilica and it was so beautiful! The pictures don’t do it justice! So ornate and huge. I loved all the stained glass and the ceiling details. The pulpit stairs are pretty unique too.
Here are a couple photos I took with my phone. I took a ton more with my regular camera but you will have to wait for the photo book to see those. 😀
After walking through the church, we headed towards the historic district
We peeked into a few souvenir shops. I had to laugh at this shirt, because it is true! But it’s only because I “google” everything, LOL
We stopped and tried some poutine, which was delicious! Poutine is made of French fries topped with cheese curds and brown gravy. So yummy!
We kept walking and stumbled onto Montreal’s version of Navy Pier. We played a fun game at the entrance, then walked around and looked at everything. There were a ton of food trucks in one area and we guessed that there was some sort of fest going on. We were right! Most of the trucks were selling Mac n Cheese. We found a sign that said MacFest was going on. It wasn’t crowded while we were there but got busier throughout the day. 
We also did some of the touristy things including riding the big Ferris wheel and the boys (including Jeff) did the remote control sailboats.
As we meandered back to the subway station, we stopped so I could take flower photos in an historic garden (photos on regular camera) and so Carson could walk around and cool off in a fountain. The kids were tired of walking around in the hot sun, so actually learning all about the history of Montreal will have to wait for another trip. Oh well, we have a lot of other history-learning opportunities on this trip!
After taking the subway back to our truck in the suburbs, we walked around a mall, and then headed back to the campground just in time to beat a big thunderstorm. We did see this Lamborghini in the parking lot of the mall. Parked as far as possible from other cars of course.
Tomorrow, we head back to the states. We are going to be camping just outside of Acadia National Park.
I have to admit that I am really looking forward to having cell service again. I hardly ever use my phone for actual phone calls but I love having the internet at my disposal to “search up” (as the boys call it) anything and everything I and the rest of the family want to know.
Until tomorrow!
