The most exciting part about the two FULL days we spent in Montreal, (besides our free breakfast, and happy hour) was going to a museum I’d seen in our travel book. Pointe-à-Callière was just 3 blocks down the street from our hotel. It was nice not to need our car to get somewhere.

Yes, they had a Pirate exhibit, and we made it there too, but our favorite exhibit was the Archaeological site below the museum. The exhibit was amazing. Mr Frenchie kept thanking me for thinking of coming to this museum. There is something incredible about learning the history of the very spot you are standing on. If you ever find yourself in Montreal, I cannot recommend this exhibit highly enough.

The next day when we were off exploring again, the museum had set up an old farmer’s market.

It was fun seeing how they had tied it in to the exhibit we’d seen the day before.

I was even excited in the rain! I’m horrible with history, so I was probably more exited because the whole market made sense to me.

The while in Montreal, we finally found Mr Frenchie’s Starbucks.

We realized when he was going to order that his standard coffee with an inch of cold soy wouldn’t work with their metric system. He felt really silly saying it in centimeters.

We saw some interesting shops…

Yes, those are what you think they are.

Um… yeah, this Christmas store wasn’t as cool as we thought it would be. But, it was good for a laugh.

Sadly, because of our day of rain, we didn’t make it to a few places we wanted to see. Mount Royal, the Biodome,

Olympic Stadium,

and Pixel City.

But, as you can see, we did get to see them from afar. (Pixel City was my favorite. It was across the river from our hotel.)

Did weather keep you from any activities you wanted to do or places you wanted to go to on your honeymoon?

Up Next: Ottawa, and why we cut our trip in Canada short.
