We spent a full day wandering around the Montreal downtown core and the old port. Here are some highlights…

Barbie doll exhibition with really amazing costume designs and fine detailing all around. Even I was blown away

Dorchester square with the Sun Life building rising in the back ground. The Sun Life building used to be the largest building in the British Empire

During our walking tour we were impressed by the number of people enjoying the parks with all of the benches and performers like this roving troupe

My favorite part of the market was the abundance of free food samples, especially the fresh and delicious nectarines

After all of that walking we were definitely hungry, and since we were in Little Italy we were able to stumble upon this Trattoria

Lisa opted for the more reasonable salad and pizza while I had the Monstrous portion of lasagna. And I finished it

And after that huge meal we naturally had to walk off all of those calories. We strolled along Rue Saint-Hubert comma one of Montreal's Maine commercial arteries with over 400 boutiques. On this afternoon it was closed to all traffic
