If you need to catch up on Part 1 of our trip,you can click here.
We took the Metro to Pie IX (Pronounced Pee Neuf) Station to see the Olympic Stadium and Botanical Gardens. The gardens opened earlier so we went there first.
We thought this was it, uhhh..no this is just the outside of the Botanical Gardens.
This is the indoor part of the garden that we didn't even get into.
Working on my skillz...
I loved the iron work on the gate into the Rose Garden.
Just a bit of the Rose Garden.
The Chinese Garden
Les Trois Etoiles (the three stars)
Fitting right in here.
Japanese Garden
This rock formation was in the the First Nations Garden.
OK, time to head over to the Olympic Stadium and up into this funicular ride in the Observation Tower. All the way UP!
The stadium was built for the 1976 Olympics
We had a birds eye view of Montreal, even on an overcast day. On the way out we passed this theater, check out all of the French movie titles! Our favorite was Detestable Moi!
Dinner at a Creperie (view out the window from out table)
My brie and Granny Smith apple crepes with maple syrup.
You want some, don't you?
One of the many street musicians.
Another beautiful evening in Montreal.
