From Mies van der Rohe to the Big Orange!lol

Just a few more pics from Montreal... we did have nice blue skies this morning although that did turn to - can you guess - RAIN of course by lunch time! We're hoping to see Old Montreal tomorrow which should be loads of fun.
A pretty church and residential street with downtown in the background...as I've mentioned, parts of the city are quite hilly!
A view of the skyline from a lookout at a high point in the city.
The requisite Mies van der Rohe black box buildings...I like Mies van der Rohe, but not overly fond of the black boxes!


This is a Montreal landmark - The Orange Julep, aka The Big Orange!lol We took the kids for a julep (it's a drink that seems to be a mix of orange juice and milk as far as I can tell). The McDonalds sign you see is unrelated to the Julep, it's for the McDonalds across the street from the Julep. Also, if you can see the gas price on that sign, it's $1.11 - that's per liter which means about $4.44 per gallon...hello $70 refill!!
Here's a better view of the Orange, now isnt' that a sight??lol

That orange is something else, all right. The julep sounds kinda gross, if you ask me, but if it's kinda smoothie-like I wouldn't mind it.
