On Friday, I went to Montreal with my family. The drive was six hours, but it was very worth it. I haven't had a family trip in so long, so this vacation was a lot of fun ^^. I saw a lot in two days, had a lot of good food, and have pictures!

For the majority of the trip, we viewed mostly Old Montreal and the downtown area, although we did see the newer part of the city. A lot of Old Montreal seems very Europe-like and gave me the feel that I am in France. ;P

I stayed there for two days, and left today early in the morning, and arrived about two hours ago. I am glad to be home, but this trip will be a great memory for my fam. ^__^

The first day, we went to the Notre Dame Catholic church, at around 6 PM. The church was veeeeery big, but we couldn't enter since the church was only open for viewing from 8 AM - 1 PM.

Next is Place Jacques-Cartier. The whole place there feels very much like Europe. What we did there was get my/my sister's portrait sketched. The artist was Korean so he gave us a discount

! It looked somewhat real...I guess haha

my dad and i

The streets!

Me...xD

Mom and I!

This concludes Day 1. We had some really good pasta/pizza at some Italian restaurant. It was one of the tastiest pizza I had ever had. Awesome food~

The next day, we headed into the church and here are the insides:

Pipe organ. It's huge!

Behind the church is an extra room. I think it's like the secondary mass room where they do it during the weekdays, when less people attend. I don't really know, but it looked like some Aztec shit. lol

Here's Chinatown. It was VERY small though. There wasn't much to see here

No idea where this was...at this point we're just wandering around!

Pink trees

Colorful glasses

Then we entered what I THINK is the Underground City...probably not but it was pretty cool. Too bad a lot of the stuff here were closed.

Indoor apartments

Leads to the subways

entering the Old Port...

Then there was this guy who did a bunch of tricks. He was very impressive. I'll upload videos I recorded when I can. Incredible balance though.

After that we were wandering around to find lunch, and found some alleyway that leads to some cool shops.

Church from a far distance

After that we went to Mont-Royal or something.

After that, my camera's batteries died, and the charger was at the hotel..=[

We visited the Olympic stadium, went up that tower. It was definitely a beautiful sight and probably even better at night.

EDIT: Here's the video of that guy "Bob" his website's www.bobatlarge.com

I liked this trip and I hope you guys enjoy my blog.

Montreal was really really fun. I went there when I was a kid and couldn't remember anything. I'm glad I went though

The food there was so good. I just couldn't resist!

Why does the italian restaurant say "Bring your own wine"?

Very cool pictures. I plan on visiting Montreal in the future.
