We had a great day again today. We toured the old neighborhoods of the West Island laughed at all the old stories then toured our childhood home. You heard me correctly all you family members. We went by Devon road and asked the owner if we could look around inside. He was thrilled to show us the house. It looks exactly the same although everything is smaller than I remember since I was considerably younger when I left. The carpets have been replaced by hardwood floors and the barbeque with my name misspelled in cement is gone but that’s it. I was able to solve the puzzle of the milk delivery door for him. They had sealed the outside door so there was only this weird door in the kitchen full of insulation. Anyway it was lots of fun telling him about the Neighbourhood.
We drove up Mount Royal and did the tour up there. Great views of the island from up there. Little known fact, Montreal is an island. A lot of people don’t know that then i guess thats what “Little known fact” means. My English major daughter will tease me about that one but I digress. Anyway Amanda is excited to do some running and biking up on the top of the mountain. Another little known fact, Montreal is named for Mount Royal, the mountain on the island of Montreal. It’s a city with a lot of interesting history, culture and community as well some of the best restaurants in the country.
More tomorrow

Thanks Kim right back at you. It was so fun catching up it felt like no time had passed. We also passed your house on Devon, it’s so fun and almost unrecognizable due to the difference in the trees. The are so big it makes the houses seem so much smaller.
So fun to hear about Devon Rd. Thanks for sharing your trip. It’s great to follow you around
Wow! I’m enjoying the tour of Montreal with you. I wish I was there too! And I wholeheartedly agree about the restaurants….have some crepes for me too. Looking forward to hearing more when you return next month.
