Montreal - c'est belle!

Meg and Sarah at McGill campus - picking up Sarah's student card and checking out the Book Store for Jen's McGill SWAG - proudly wearing my red McGill Parent badge!
Sarah at Main entrance - beautiful day, blue skies
Gotta try it! 
Meg outside Roddick Gates - main entrance to campus
YAY! checking in to Solin Residence
Sarah's new flat - her roommate's parents had already completely kitted out the kitchen - from plates to pots to microwave, coffee maker and salt & pepper - helpful :)
Sarah's flat window (X marks the spot) outside her residence, a former chocolate factory - very cool
Gotta love Zellers!  The girls were great, hanging in there for 2 days of sourcing stuff.  We also went to a Swap on campus and picked up some baskets, etc for Sarah's room.
Sarah at her desk - check out the pigeon on the windowsill outside - there are a LOT of them roosting just outside,
Super high ceilings in her flat - (at least 12' high) with wooden slats and exposed beams - made the rooms feel so much bigger
Sarah at her desk
Sarah's collection of stuff from her travels - great to see all set up in her new room
Living room window, Sarah's room
View from the front door - kitchen to the left, then through to dining/livingroom, and Sarah's room at the back
Sarah's got her own shower and sink - luxury!
Sarah and Meg in front of Notre Dame Basilica, by Place D'Armes square - very cool
Meg's favourite watering hole:  Toujours frais @ Tim Hortons!
Place D'Armes and amazing buildings -
Birthplace of Montreal monument
One of the original old buildings in Place D'Armes
Montreal Stock Exchange building
The girls on King Edward Quay - original Montreal docks
Touring around Vieux Montreal - cobblestone streets
Montreal celebrates 190 years
Saint-Sulpice Seminary beside Notre Dame
