What a great city!
Today we toured the city with looper friends that we met at Marathon, Florida
last February. They live here! Their boat is “Seamont” and they completed
the loop a few weeks ago, so now they are Gold Loopers. We walked the streets of Montreal with Simon
and Sylvi and had a very informative day learning about the city and its
history.
The Hotel Le St. James is a historic building dating back
to 1870 located on the cobblestoned streets of Old Montreal.
This is a bank that has been converted to a coffee house….that’s
right, the upper floors are offices but the main floor is a coffee shop with comfortable
seating and private rooms.
Da Bears.............lot's of fur in this shop, they had a coat rack with 50% off which dropped the price to $750.
This is the Notre Dame de Bon Secours Chapel originally
built in 1675. It was destroyed by fire
in 1754 and re-erected over its original foundations in 1771. Long beloved as the “Sailors Church”, there
is a legend that the statue of the Virgin Star of the Sea was facing toward the
city, but during a severe storm, the statue turned 180 degrees facing the St
Lawrence River to protect the sailors.
