Montreal continued
I had met with a friend from St Andrews who now lives in Montreal and had a coffee and chat. It was late afternoon when I went to walk to the chalet on top of the Mont Royal and the stairs from the street near me where closed for the winter. I asked a lady for directions and she didn't know how I could walk up so she drove me, she had lived in Sydney for a month. She dropped me off beside a frozen lake and told me to follow the path where people were walking, it was cold believe me. Finally I got to the view of Montreal and asked someone to take my photo to prove I was there.
I walked down these steps to get back to the city, I was nearly half way down when I thought I should take a photo. and there were more. I had dinner at the place where we had coffee in the afternoon.(Sevens - where all the Montreal people eat and drink) Good Pasta and salad, I would have liked sweets but the main meal helpings are oversize.
On Sunday morning before I left for Quebec I went to the Maurice Dennis exhibition at the Musee des Beaux Arts. I knew nothing about him but his paintings were wonderful, they also had nice modernist paintings and a pencil drawing exhibition as well. I would go back to Montreal again as a lot of the attractions are closed during the off season.
