montreal day 2

We went to the Atwater Market this morning where we had breakfast at a great boulangerie.








The market was a visual feast of flowers and produce.




Afterwards we walked along the Lachine Canal. The canal and it's locks were restored in 2002 and there are nice pedestrian and bicycle paths alongside.














We took the metro and the city bus system to get to MontRoyal. The park was designed by Olmstead,who is famous for Central Park in NYC. We saw many joggers and walkers and we actually walked a fair distance ourselves. In the winter they snow ski the trails. The park has tons of giant trees throughout and some fantastic mansions on the outskirts.
