Cafe Terrasse Chez Catherine

Located in a prime spot along the riverfront was this little cafe serving ice cream, gelato and crepes...

Pardon the craptastic night photos...

It was time for a little dessert before calling it a night...

Old Montreal at Night

Just like the night before in old Quebec city, we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the old Montreal quarter at night...

when it was much cooler and less crowded. Above, a blurry (sorry) shot of a shop offering poutine, which can be found everywhere in Montreal.

Since we just had that awesome potluck meal at C's aunt's house, we were just there to take in the sights and perhaps pick up a little dessert later that evening...

Party food in Canada

At C's aunt's house, we made our way to the backyard where the party was at...

C's cousins were super nice, greeting us and making us feel at home. One of them offered Bert a selection of Canadian beers....

Aloft Hotel - Montreal, Quebec

Ah, the brief return of the Canada posts...

Here we are, on the road again...en route to our hotel in Montreal.

Traffic may not look that bad in the photo, but later on that evening, it took C and her husband nearly an hour and a half  (when it should have been half an hour) to pick us up....

Tim Hortons and snacks from Metro Plus

Our nature walk to the Falls left us tired, hungry and thirsty! What better excuse than to visit one of the thousands of  "Timmy's" (Tim Hortons) that are all over Canada...

By now, it was in the 90's and a frozen drink sounded good about now...

Parc des Chutes de las Chaudieres, Levis, QC

Fortified by our hearty breakfast at Chez Cora, we headed over to NM's house to do a last minute pit stop before going over to a local park.

Both C and I were gifted with a can of maple syrup from her friend. To tell you the truth, I still haven't opened that syrup yet, but I will soon because there is a pie recipe I want to test out...

Canada Day 7: Levis - Breakfast at Chez Cora

So far, our week in Canada had been quite fun, traveling via minivan with my friend C and her family.  After last night's awesome dinner at Le Cochon Dingue, we crashed for the night at a local hotel in Levis. We then met up with C's blogfriend, NM and her youngest for breakfast at a popular breakfast chain, Chez Cora.

This was just down the road from our hotel and while it was a bit overcast in the morning, it would soon burn off and turn into a scorching hot day...

But first, let's have some breakfast, shall we?
