Montreal, Part II

After my lunch of mussels and fries, I was ready for a second walking tour of the western portion of the old city.  The guide wasn't quite as good, but here are few of my pictures from this trek in Old Montreal.

Here's a look at the buildings near the Intercontinental Hotel.  A wedding was going on (well, photos were being taken).  With the underground areas of the city, you can travel through much of the city without going outside during the cold weather and heavy snowfall.

A portion of the Berlin Wall was given to the city of Montreal. 

Here's the hotel of the rich and famous.  Madonna stayed here last week during her concert.

As I was standing at the hotel, a Masserati pulled up and a gentleman got out.  The bellman is parking the vehicle.  I'm not sure if he was of the rich and famous of Montreal.

Another hotel in this area of the city.  This guy made the girl cry and he was soon all over her trying to get her to stop.

This was the home of the Grey Nuns of Montreal.  They did works of charity, but also built warehouses across the harbor area.  Today these warehouses have been converted to apartments.

The tour ended in the cruise port area.  My ship was preparing to leave with another group of passengers bound for Boston.

This is the Museum of Archeology (Pointe-à-Callière Museum) is right in the port area.
