This morning we drove from Wyckoff to Montreal. At the Springhill Suites in Old Montreal we meet our friends, Reg and Phoebe of SV Three Sheets, who are visiting friends and family in Ontario while their boat is in San Carlos, Mexico.
We are staying in the middle of Old Montreal, a city established in the 1600's.
We walked around the old town. It is sunny and comfortable and there are many sidewalk cages open. We stopped at one on the a large square for some wine and small plates. Many people are out enjoying the weather. A busker plays guitar hoping for some tips. Farther away a group plays pan pipes, attracting a large audience. We continue our walk, exploring the area. There is a building that is supposed to house a market that we will visit tomorrow.
We stop at another cafe for salad before returning to the hotel. Our waiter is friendly and talkative. We ask him about what to see in the city but he laments that most of the festivals are over for the season but that the historical sites are open. We will investigate more tomorrow.
