Day 56 in Montreal Area

For worship today, we were bussed in downtown Montreal to the morning service at St. Paul and St. Peter Presbyterian Church. It is a large cathedral type building. The First CRC church on Montreal gave special music at the service. After the service, we were treated to snacks, ice cream, coffee, and cold drinks in the churches Quite Garden, behind the church, away from the traffic.

We were then going to be bussed to the Old Port area of Montreal to do some sightseeing on our own for a few hours. There were a couple events going on in downtown Montreal and a lot of construction, so our bussed could not get through the normal streets and the bus drivers needed to detour way around and we were on the bussed for over an hour for what was planned as a two mile trip.

We wandered around the Old Port area. There are many old buildings. I included a photo of the Notre Dame Cathedral and some old building fronts. There are many places to eat and shop. We were back on the bus at 4:00 p.m. to return the 15 miles or so to our camp.
