Getaway to Montreal!

On Wednesday, July 6th, Brian and I jetted off to Montreal for 4 days and 3 nights! What a great getaway, I loved Montreal immediately<3. We got there around dinner time on Wednesday and ate in the hotel lobby - it was delicious. We went for a walk down to the harbor afterwards and even got to see a fantastic fireworks display! The next day, wandered to the Museum of Contemporary Art and stumbled upon the International Jazz fesival - that was a cool discovery! We also went to a Cirque du Soliel show and it was so good, they do not disappoint! We walked around a lot, had dinner at a restaurant with live jazz music (a must for Brian:)). After dinner we went back to the Jazz fesival for a bit, it was a really fun atmosphere.

Friday we went for a boat ride around the harbor, then went to tour the Notre Dame Basillica - wow! I've seen some old churches, but this one certainly looked about as spectacular as any I've seen. We had the most delicious dinner at Tres 400 Coups - highly recommend to anyone going to Montreal!! SUCH tasty food! We went back to the Jazz Festival that evening and stayed for quite a while, it was a lot of fun! There was a group beside us that was dancing a lot and the enthusiasm was quite contagious (not enough to get us dancing, though;)). Saturday we were off to airport in the early afternoon, back in Edmonton around dinner time. What an amazing getaway!! So glad we had the chance to go!
