The jet lag and head colds are murder. We’re sleeping good it’s just falling asleep early and waking up in the middle of the night.
Finally getting over this dreadful cough and it’s time to bundle up and take a walk.
Yesterdays rain was a lil too much
Today the colors are exploding and the temps are in the low 50’s with a brisk wind off the water. It’s all good we have the clothes, they were packed just never worn. Fall is a gorgeous season.
Here’s a few lovely spots in downtown Montreal.
St Catherine’s
We might have to try it
Add fun colors to this hotel
We spotted this hillside and tried to find our way through McGill University but there’s major rehabilitation going on. This campus is old and quite huge. We later learned it was founded in 1821 and has 40,000 students. Fabulous buildings many being rehabilitated.
McGill University, public English-language university in Montreal that is internationally known for its work in chemistry, medicine, and biology. A bequest from the estate of James McGill, a Montreal merchant, was used to found the university, which received a royal charter in 1821. Faculties of medicine and arts were the first to be established, and in 1899 Royal Victoria College was opened for women. Royal Victoria gradually merged with McGill, and the university is now completely coeducational. Also incorporated in the university system is Macdonald College at Sainte-Anne de Bellevue, founded in 1907 and specializing in the agricultural sciences. Three theological colleges are affiliated with the university. McGill is one of the leading universities of Canada. They offer 300 different degrees.
