September 24th 2006: Centre-Ville (Downtown Montreal)

The one movie is of the ivy on the walls of the Grand Seminaire de Montreal waving in the wind like water in the ocean. With sound, one can hear how much the wind was blowing.

There are movies associated with this collection.

Windsor Station used to be a major train station.  Sadly, it's now
abandoned and used for festivals; it housed a tattoo fair when we passed.
The Cathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde (Mary Queen of the World Cathedral)
radiates power over those nearby.  Indeed, this was intended.  The history
of the building, in terms of both motivation and design, is
interesting.
The back of the Cathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde, as seen from inside 
the Atrium le Mille de la Gauchetiere, a building that includes, among 
other things, an ice skating rink.

The outside of St. Patrick's Basilica doesn't look as impressive as most 
churches we saw this day.
The inside of St. Patrick's Cathedral, however, was quite elaborate.
The sun made the roof of this church-like building near our hotel glow.
A rainbow, perhaps portentous of a good trip.

Chateau de L'Argoat (Our Hotel)
Our hotel's front entrance was along a row of town "houses."
I enjoyed our spacious hotel room, as well as the large pieces of 
abstract art on the walls.
Another view of our hotel room, along with another piece of art.

L'Escape
The sign-less entrance to L'Express.  The tiles in the sidewalk were the
only thing telling us we were in the right place.
The cozy, fairly formal interior of L'Express.
Warm goat cheese salad, presented in an unusual matter: goat cheese spread
on toasted bread with a dressed salad on the side.  Mix them as your heart
desires.
Fish soup.
