An older picture of the painted bus we saw walking back from dinner.

We’ve been to Montreal enough we stay at a regular place, the excellent Auberge de La Fontaine, and we have what I’d guess you’d call a routine (yeah, routine, boring) after the six hour drive to the city from Portland:

We change, freshen up, whatever you want to call it; the Auberge is in The Plateau neighborhood, and it’s across Rue Rachel from Parc La Fontaine, so we stretch our legs, clear our heads and start to relax with a walk though the park or through the neighborhood; and we get something to eat.

This picture was taken on the walk back through The Plateau’s grid (streets) after eating at Pizzedelic on Avenue du Mont-Royal.
