Going from Hopedale to Montreal, Quebec.

It was a 2 day trip from Hopedale, to get to Montreal, Quebec. We stayed in a hotel for a night and drove all next day and night. Once we got to Montreal we stayed with my great uncle who lives there. It was pretty late when we got there so we went to bed, but the next day we all went exploring through the city. My brother, Melanie and myself were dropped off at “The Underground City” it had the biggest shopping mall I’ve ever seen. The three of us went to so many stores, and saw so many different attractions there that we didn’t know when to stop. Meanwhile, my uncle had taken my parents to see “The Montreal Casino”, I didn’t really know anything about it but my mom told me that it was huge, my parents didn’t really gamble but there was a really good restaurant there.

The next day drove up to the Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville National Park, it was just a few kilometers from Montreal so we decided to look around. There were amazing waterside trails, every few steps you saw a little bit more of nature. There were animals and other hikers, there even thought it was cold. There was a little diner there that we stopped at for lunch and through the window was so a group of deer. We tried to find them after lunch too but they were gone. After, we continued our walk, a few hours later we were back at our uncles house. Before we left we saw the “Notre-Dame Basilica”, it was beautiful. We stayed and looked around for a bit but it was finally time to go. We dropped my uncle off, said goodbye, and we were off.
