Excursion Weekend: Montreal

The Montreal group started their weekend off with a visit to the cute capital of Montpelier, Vermont for lunch and exploring. After the long bus ride, we enjoyed an evening at the International Jazz Fest. A great time was had by all!

On our way to dinner we stopped by this famous statue to appreciate some of Montreal’s public art

On Saturday, part of our group visited the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art) where we enjoyed many interactive exhibits. We then strolled through the bustling streets of the city on our way to Atwater market where we met up with the other part of our group who had spent the morning enjoying a leisurely bike ride along the St. Lawrence River.

A highlight of the weekend was the delicious Quebecois cuisine. We enjoyed the famous Montreal bagels, and of course – POUTINE!

We ended our weekend with a Sunday morning hike up Mont Royal where we saw a beautiful panoramic view of the city. We loved Montreal and had an awesome weekend exploring!
