Canada Trip - Day 7 Highlights

C's friend joined us for breakfast at a very popular QC spot...

FarmerJohn pouring syrup over the breakfast special...


We were also gifted a can of pure maple syrup! I was recommended to try it with spaghetti! Reminds me of "Elf" but sure, I will try it!

Her friend (NM - Nugglemama) gave us a tour of a local park...

View of the Quebec Bridge (Pont du Quebec) as seen from the suspension bridge in the park...

The Chaudiere Waterfalls (les Chutes de la Chaudiere...

More Canadian snacks....

After the falls, we headed over to the West Island (a suburb) in Montreal. C's great aunt was celebrating her 90th birthday.

A selection of Canadian beers - Bert tried the Molson...

One of C's cousins took us on a night tour of the Old Port in Montreal...

They are really into their hockey here. The Montreal Canadiens are also known as "the Habs" (short of Les Habitants, named after the early settlers).

It was so cute, C's daughter was chanting "Go Habs Go!" in the car and pumping her fist! C's husband on the other hand is a Maple Leafs supporter.

The dome of the Marche Bonsecours (Bonsecours Market)...

The Notre Dame Basilica, a spectacular Gothic revival cathedral...

A trivial note - Celine Dion was married here!

This was another night tour of one of Canada's major cities. We'd see it again tomorrow but in the daytime before heading back out to Ottawa...
