We've been walking 8 to 10 kilometers per day lately, so we sleep really well. As it is not really necessary to get onto this time zone, we've been staying up late and getting up even later.
Our 3-day transit passes ran out last night at midnight. We were contemplating whether we'd renew today and decided we would. So when entering our station at Papineau, we chose to head in the opposite direction to downtown. We recall the Olympic Stadium from our last visit. Presently the Biodome is closed for renovation and will reopen in December. We knew that but wanted to just walk a little extra.
Following the exercise on an overcast day, we went directly downtown and within the Metro underground we found the food court for lunch. We then walked the length of the pedestrian sections of St. Catherine Street through Le Ville. This was the designated Community Day and it was packed with locals and tourists.
Montreal is a fun city and would be my next choice as place to live in Canada. Of course, that is only because we now leave for winters. I'm not sure I could do winter in the type of cold weather which occurs here. The Metro may offer a chance to stay underground for shopping and restaurants, but one would still have to come out occasionally. Brrrr. I don't want to even think about it.
As is normal for this trip and when we're home, we had some time for a nap. In the evening we went back to the Pride grounds in the park. It is nearly in our neighbhourhood. So much diversity!
