Montreal

Montreal, Day 1 RAIN

We had lunch at Schwartz’s deli, the home of the original Montreal steak sandwich. It is brisket that is lean but not seasoned like pastrami or corned beef. This place is an institution and has been in business for 90 years, and the place looks like it. We even did a little shopping at the dollar store.

It stopped raining long enough for us to do a walking tour in the evening to the Notre Dame Basilica where we saw a light show inside the church. It was very interesting and unique, but a light show inside a house of worship just doesn’t work for me.

Day 2 SUNSHINE:

We went on an excursion around the city, which was kind of boring because all our guide did was talk about this building and that building and she thought she was kind of cute making jokes but was really annoying. We came back to the ship to have lunch and then Michael went out walking around the old city while I went to the spa to just float in the nice water and take a nap.
