Bonjour! Jon and I had a great day. We drove to the Montreal Casino and the Biosphere. The casino is 7 stories high. It had lots of slot machines and card games. We spent $5 playing Keno and slots but we lost. We did manage to take a handful of wet naps but unfortunately, no pens were to be found. Afterwards, we drove to the Biosphere on Ile Sainte Helene. It’s a large environmental museum.
We drove to Mont Royal to see the park and the highest point of Montreal. It was such a beautiful sight. On one side of the park, you can see the downtown area and on the other side, you can see the Olympic Park. Jon and I didn’t know where we were going. When we went to the tourist center 2 days ago, the lady that was helping us said that la croix du mont royal is where you’ll be able to see the highest point. When we got there, we couldn’t see anything because the area was surrounded by trees. Also, there was a steeper path close to that area so that area wouldn’t be the highest point. We were contemplating where the highest point was. In the area, there is a steel structure. I was telling Jon that if you climb to the top of the structure it’ll be the highest point. Then I noticed that it was the cross (la croix). Ha ha.
We then returned to our hotel and had Mcdonald’s. We ate 2 junior chickens, 2 bacon cheeseburger and medium fries. Afterwards, we took the subway to Saint Catherines. Yesterday, we only walked around the east side so we decided to walk down to the west. There were lots of stores. This area reminds me of Robson. We stumbled upon a Aboriginal festival with dancing performances. We also saw the stage for an outdoor fashion show. We saw the models get their make up done in street booths.
Afterwards, we walked to Mcgill and explored their campus. We then bought dinner from Metro, a supermarket. We had deli sandwiches, apples and Yop, a yogurt drink. Jon and I watched 2 hours of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. We have about 1 hour left.
We walked to Jacque Cartier Bridge to watch the Montreal International Fireworks. Today, France was performing. They were fantastic. They had lots of large and bright fireworks.
Tomorrow, we’ll be heading to Quebec City. Have a wonderful night!
