Beautiful Notre Dame Basilica in Old Town Montreal
This building was built from 1824-1829 with an Irish, Protestant architect from New York. The towers were begun in 1841 and completed in 1843. There are many weddings in this church, but the waiting time is 2 years!!!! Celine Dion was married here in 1994.
Carriage Ride in Old Town Montreal
Really a great idea as it was very, very hot today in Montreal-- nearly 89 degrees with high humidity. Nearly a record. Friends, Doug and Sally Hoy from Seattle arrived at 11:00 last night, in time for at least one day of touring Montreal before we sail tomorrow. We were able to see many old buildings from the 1600s when Montreal was founded by the French.
