Montreal

Lex's company had their annual Leadership Conference in Montreal this year and spouses were invited! They had a welcome dinner the first night on the terrace of the hotel with appetizers and drinks. Such a beautiful night! 

The next day they had meetings in the mornings so I got up, got starbucks and started exploring the city bright and early. I made it down to the river then started feeling the aches and pains of the soon to be full blown stomach bug (little did I know it was spreading through out house at home too). I headed back to the hotel and stayed there the rest of the day. Slept mostly, but watch some TV as I started to feel better. Unfortunatley, I had to miss out on the afternoon activies that were planned by his company......an amazing cooking class and a nice steak dinner. BUT food was the last thing on my mind.  

Our hotel.....Hotel Place de Arms

Tapas they made at the cooking class. Lex loved it! 

The next day I was back to normal but still didn't feel like walking the whole city, so while Lex was in meetings. I hopped on the double decker tour bus and saw the whole city.

Lex was done by 2:00, so we headed out and rode the Ferris Wheel, walked the town, enjoyed the street performers, rode the Metro, found a music festival, had some amazing pizza. And went to bed fairly early to be up at 4:30 for our flight.

Underground City.....this is downtown Montreal. Their shopping is all underground so in the winter people can get around without having to dredge through the snow.

It was a very short trip and even though I was sick, we enjoyed getting away together. Even the flights were nice because I was able to read a whole book in peace and watch 3 movies!
