Just a few more impressions to share before I depart this morning.
This was the reason we weren't allowed inside the Notre Dame Basilica on Saturday. The bride and 3 bridesmaids rode up in a horse-drawn crystal carriage. It was so romantic. And all the tourists gathered outside the church were like paparazzi awaiting the emergence of a celebrity from a limo.
Here's my hotel, Le Chateau Champlain Marriott. My room was in the front, on the 4th floor. I opted for the lower floor after learning my original room on the 23rd floor would not have a view. The hotel is built over the Underground City. It's just an elevator ride to get to the Metro station.
This is a view of Vieux Montreal from the St. Lawrence River, during the Amphi Bus tour. No sunshine yesterday. Just heat and humidity.
And, several topiary artists were awarded plots to create tributes to Quebec at the House of Parliament. 
I hope to return someday. This was a lot of fun!!
