Montréal

Day 1: May 26, 2017

Hello to all! Welcome to the tour diary. Every day while we're on tour I will be posting photos and a summary of our activities for the day. My name is Cameron and I will be your tour director during our time in Québec. I cannot wait to meet you all and show you everything I know about this gorgeous city. We're going to have an incredible visit! There is rain in the forecast for the first day while we are there, so be sure to pack your rain gear. But don't worry - I won't let any rain dampen our spirits! It's looking like it will be about 20 degrees (Celsius, don't worry! That's about 71 degrees for you guys.) while we are there so feel free to bring some shorts. Now, check back here on the first day of tour, and I'll be posting about our trip. See you all soon........... .................................................... And we're finally in Montreal! After an early start we packed up the bus and started our journey to the Great White North! We made great time and were two hours ahead of schedule! We met our tour guide at the currency exchange (after picking up some cool Canadian cash) and then headed for lunch. After a quick stop at a food court in the Montreal underground, we walked over to the Basilica de St. Patrick. After learning about the history of the Irish immigrants in Montreal, we walked back to the bus and then drove up to Mont Royal, the park which Montreal derives its name! After taking some time at a lookout point we bused down to dinner at a brasserie sportif! The food was so filling. After that it was back to the hotel for some time in the pool, charades, and Canadian music. So far, it's been a great day! Cam
