Old Montreal in Montreal, Quebec

Old Montreal is one of the nicest parts of Montreal and I highly recommend you visit that part of Montreal if ever you get a chance to go there. The area is lined with beautiful shops and very old buildings. The Notre Dame Basilica is down in that area as is City Hall.

Here is Trina and I at breakfast at Chez Suzette’s in Old Montreal. We each had a crepe and it was absolutely delicious! We had great service here:

Chez Cora’s Restaurant for Breakfast in Montreal, Quebec

Trina and I awoke Sunday morning with a need for a restaurant for breakfast!  We headed out on foot searching for a Chez Cora’s restaurant.  Trina promised it would be the best breakfast I would ever eat and I was NOT disappointed.  I had the waffle and custard with the strawberries, kiwis, bananas and strawberry coulis and Trina did too!  It was DELICIOUS!

Here is me at the restaurant:

Our Hotel in Montreal, Quebec - The InterContinental Montreal

When my assistant, Trina Lamarche, and I were in Montreal, we stayed at the InterContinental Montreal.  It was a gorgeous, four-star hotel just outside of Old Montreal.  Here are some pictures from the hotel…

Road Trip to Montreal, Quebec

This weekend, my assistant Trina Lamarche (www.vaassistant.com) and I hit the road and went to Montreal, Quebec.  It took us about three hours by car and we left at 6:30 AM on Saturday morning.  We had a wonderful drive and encountered no troubles (or map issues!)  Here are some of the photos from the road…

It isn’t a road trip without the Tim Horton’s coffee…:

Yay!  We’re almost in Montreal!:
