August 2011
Day 4 began with an early morning tour of the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel followed by a river tour aboard Le Batou Mouche. We finished the evening with more time in Old Montreal and dinner at Jardin Nelson. The night ended with running 3 blocks uphill to find a cab in the pouring rain!
