On day four, we packed our things, said goodbye to the quaint city of Quebec, and moved to Montreal. Our first day in the city consisted of a brief tour by bus, a stop at the famous landmark, Mount Royal, and a visit to the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal. Mount Royal is a mountain located just outside of the city streets where its lookout provides an amazing view of downtown Montreal. We spent some time here taking pictures and orienting ourselves to what we had seen on our bus tour thus far. After this, we made our way to Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica. Here, we had the opportunity to learn about the churches history and traditions. Originally designed and partially built by New York architect, James O’Donell, it is the largest church in North America today, seating over 8,000 people. It is the oldest standing Catholic church in Montreal. Whether you are religious or not, this building is truly a piece of art. The immaculate detail and overall architecture make it possible to spend hours just observing. I found many of the places I visited on this trip hard to capture within in a photo and this church was definitely one of them as the pictures do not do its beauty justice.
