These tours were made for walkin'

Today we went on an amazing walking tour of Old Montreal, this part of the city is beautiful buildings from the late 1800's and cobblestone make you feel like youre somewhere in Europe (perhaps France ? Oui ) The tour featured all sorts of great things, the first hospital in montreal, first bank, oldest road, an alley famous for artists, the origonal montreal stock exchange, Notre Dome (but I havn't gone in yet- that will have its own post!) and lots of other interesting great places.
Rue Des Artistes (the street famous for having artists painting and vending) The first picture is of my favorite artwork (and artist painting more of it) I saw on the street, the paintings were so vibrant and beautiful !


Im so excited for when we finally go to Notre Dome and visit the inside, I have heard its breath taking ! I just have to wait for a day when theres enough time.

 A chunk of the Berlin wall (random gift ? but still tre cool)
 the original Montreal stock exchange which is now converted into a theatre, oh and an awesome horse and pink carriage that accidently trotted perfectly into the center of the frame. Those guys are all over the place here kinda like in NYC.

The tour was quite exhausting - 3 hours of walking but it was great and informative ! Now we have plenty of starting points for exploring and adventures !
