Day 31

We spent this rather grey, snowy, day exploring Montreal and noted the contrast between traditional buildings such as the Anglican church, above, and cathedral, below, and tall modern skyscrapers.

We visited the Musee des Beaux Arts which has  a series of amazing collections of art and design:

Also at the museum was an exhibition of Christmas trees, each one created by a cultural or community group in Montreal:

We walked to the old port area and visited the 'Mariners chapel' where a choral concert was taking place:

We learned afterwards that each week a different choir sings and this Sunday it was the turn of the  Police Choir of Montreal.

This old market building above the port is now the home of an extensive selling exhibition of arts and crafts.

In the port itself, everything was frozen.
