Road Trip Update: Montréal

Wow, so much to write about from Montréal…and yet it’s half past one in the morning here, so I’ll make it short. We did all the traditional touristy things here today—the Biodôme, the Place d’Armes, the Basilica de Notre-Dame—and a couple of not-so-touristy things. For example, the other church (the Cathedral of Mary, Queen of the World) is actually the seat of the archdiocese, not Notre-Dame; it is also, like St John Lateran in Rome, somewhat off the beaten path despite being ecclesiastically more important. But even the touristy things were awesome. The Biodôme is just as neat as I remember from when I was nine, or however old I was when I was last here. There was a special exhibit of lemurs, which had the good fortune to be curated in French, English, and Malagasy (!).

Anyway, enjoy the pictures; here are just six of the fifty-one that I added today:

Next stop: Ottawa! Also, lest we forget—happy Fourth of July!
