I guess if we had to walk up Mt. Royal now, I guess it would seem fairly steep....those old knees don't hold up too well on any hill. lol<br />Your suggestions were wonderful. I live in Burnaby. I think you live on the island. Is that correct?

I forgot about where we live ,hahahaha I guess I was thinking More along the lines of walking from Beaver Lk. to the Chalet overlooking the city,then hike down the stairs right into Downtown Montreal & find an outdoor patio/bistro & do some people watching (and wobbly popping)-lol Yup we have driveways in town as high as Mont Royal..... ~~~~ HF&RV ~~~~~~Les Fhttp://lesf.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-32010941330395886742011-05-26T11:16:58.000-07:002011-05-26T11:16:58.000-07:00By the underground city, your referring to the maj...By the underground city, your referring to the major shopping area?

Don't know about the mountain walk, lol as we have high mountains all around us and he's an outdoor kind of guy. The rapid ride...fabulous idea.<br />Again thanks for all of that. I'll have to come and visit my city one of these days and get to know it again.

They want to know the best things to do and places to see. All I could think of was Old Montreal and biking along the St. Lawrence river. A while back someone wrote about renting bikes along the boardwalk. Does anyone recall it or know of it. I think they said you can rent and ride as far as you like and they have stations along the way to leave the bikes. Love to hear some suggestions.
