My time in Montreal was interesting I encountered many cultures, and different people. I did go to Montreal once before, but I was in middle school and I stayed with a host family, so I never got to experience it as a tourist would so I appreciated this trip a lot more the second time around. I got to see all the cathedrals, which I didn’t expect there would be so many, but they were all so beautiful and skillfully crafted, from the wood carvings to the stain glass, and the one that had the crypt in the bottom and had the three sixty view of old Montreal and the water was so cool.

Also the Museums, The bio dome was really cool because all the animals weren’t caged the monkeys were free to jump from tree to tree, and the birds could fly around. I even saw some animals that I’ve never even seen before. I liked the change in temperature throughout the exhibits depending on which biome you were walking through.

The planetarium was by far my favorite the visual experience that was like an imax theater but like it really felt like they were taking you through space. The cool part about it was that there were no words, just music and the digital art, which was amazing. The sounds would vibrate the floor. And the setup of the room we were in, there were bean bags in the floor and camping chairs to sit in if you didn’t want to lie on the floor. The planetarium was truly a unique experience.  One day we were hungry and we stumbled into china town one day and there were so many restaurants to choose from some with dumplings and desert and others with rice meals it was great. And the food was delicious. I also really enjoyed Poutine for my first time on this trip!

The little cafes along the street in old Montreal remind me of Europe, although I’ve never been I imagine it would look like that. This was an exciting and interesting trip and i really enjoyed myself.
