Montreal Trip - Day 11

I got up early and walked over to work at the Montreal Archives. Most everyone speaks French, but there were a few nice ladies there who were also working on their genealogy. They helped me find things and, after some searching, I located records of Owen and his family. I found two new children (they died as infants) and nailed down some other loose ends. Things were very organized and I spent nearly the whole day there. Meanwhile, Nicky and the kids took the subway over to the Biodome - a nature adventure park. They came back with lots of great stories about how much fun they had. After a short rest at the hotel (Four Points by Sheraton on Rue Sherbrooke), we walked down to Chinatown. We found a great restaurant - very inexpensive - and spent several hours sampling their food. We walked around the Jazz Festival again - fun!
