Just next door is a Brazilian cafe, feijoada is served(the first pic) with manioc flour, rice and collard greens |
and next to that is the Australian Pie Shop, apparently Hugh Jackman visited and said they were the best in the world! |
their version of the Pie Floater |
these fire escapes fascinate me and remind me of films set in New York |
this painting covers the walls and ceiling of a nearby garage, the artists are listed below |
How's this for a Fire Station? More like a fairy tale castle! |
this huge painting is in a stonemason's yard on one of the main streets of the city |
and across the road we ate at the world famous Schwartz's Restaurant, as with most of the meals I've shown you we shared one meal and took doggie bags away with us, portion sizes here in Canada are very large |
the bells of the Portuguese church sound wonderful on Sundays |
this poster is advertising the 1925 Lon Chaney silent movie, "Phantom of the Opera" with live piano, organ, viola(?) and soprano...what a glorious spectacle that will be |
a Lebanese shared lunch, lots of salad here, Mum (lol) |
Another lovey post Sue. I'm really enjoying all the photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour Sue :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like your holiday is going well. You have posted some lovely pictures of other parts of our big beautiful world.

If you're still in Montreal, it can' be the 11th yet. I must have missed a day! I love the way you capture the essence of the city with your photos. It was certainly one of the best Canadian vacations Charlene & I have had. Maybe some day we will meet you in Oz or at a noodle shop in Shanghai or Saigon...RayK
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to go on a walk with you, Sue. I am glad you are enjoying yourself. What huge portion sizes!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on your posts over the past couple of weeks. Gee, it was a walk down memory lane for me seeing the pics of Ottawa. I used to go into the city a lot as there was a swimming pool opposite the Chateau Laurier...it used to be the train station and the pool was way down underground. Always went up the tower in the Houses of Parliament as it was the highest that I had ever been as a young girl. Thanks for the memories. Have fun in Montreal, my Dad is buried there.
Hugs and take care.
