Okay. Hi everyone. This is a walking lady and Amidon and uh right now we are here at the Mario Marot Courtyard Hotel in Montreal downtown. Yep. And uh we're going to um Old Montreal. Old Montreal. And we have the direction here. So we are just trying to follow the direction direction. And let's just quickly show the lobby for a second. And I see some people are checking in right now. And that's the Marriott courtyard. And let's go. Okay, let's go. So I think you just have to turn. Oh, wow. There is a bus. Oh, there's a Yeah, there's like a long TTC bus. Yeah. Yeah. So So we have to turn right here. Yeah. One sec. So this is the hotel we are staying in. Mario hotel. Actually look our our room is right right that one. I think that's our room right there. That's on the second floor. Yeah, that's where our room is. Yeah. So now let's keep going. So this is like 15 minutes walk and we should be hitting uh old Montreal. Oh look, Marita has another hotel here. AC Hotels. Oh wow. There's so many. Yeah, I know. There's so many Mario hotel here. I never heard of that. Yes, but the other one um get lost. Actually, guys, we got lost finding the right Mario Hotel. So, there is one very close Mario hotel uh close to the central station. Yeah. And we ended up there and we realized that it's not the right one. So, we just walk back here and finally we find the right Marott. Yeah. Yeah. So it's confusing because of uh you know when you're finding the direction you don't this is the street I think you have to turn. Oh yes yes we have to turn right. No there is still straight. Oh okay. Okay then keep going. Go straight. No turn right here. Okay. So we we keep going and I see that. Oh there's something there but I don't know what is that. A lot of people there. See? Yeah. So right now we are just trying to uh follow the direction because we don't want to get lost. Yeah. Yeah. But it's you know so far I like it. It's a very beautiful city. Yes. And you know what it's good that um that time even it's uh 5:00. 5:00. Yeah. Very bright because it's summer you know. Yeah. So when it is summer in Canada Yep. it is a long daylight. Yeah. And uh today is Friday, but if you take a look, it's not like, you know, that crowded, right? It's not that crowded like Toronto. Yeah. And very clean. Oh, look at their buses. B uh bus stand. It's like an all uh covered. Yes. And it's very clean also. The bus stop. Yes. Very clean.

So you're saying we are going to old Montreal. The buildings are becoming smaller smaller and older older. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a different vibe. That's why it's old Montreal. Old Montreal. And hopefully we got to get to see the Notredam Notredam Basilica. Basilica. Okay. Basilica. And then some cobbled uh stone uh street and we will try also to go to the waterfront. And then up front from there we'll go to waterfront. Yeah. And hopefully Oh, you know what? I think this is the the one that I saw from the hotel. So I said this looks like a service Canada. So this is right. This is the one I saw because I saw uh you know the service Canada on the top of this floor. Yeah. From the hotel. So yeah, this is the one service Canada. But but here they're not going to serve us because we are not from Quebec. What do you mean? Because this is from Quebec, right? We have to go to Ontario Service Canada. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. Your your health card is not valid here. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Yeah. Actually, good to know. I didn't know that really. And their health card is not going to be accepted in Ontario. Ontario. Yeah. Yeah. Are you sure of that? Yeah. Okay. That's why you have insurance, right? As long as you are sure, then I'm okay. Yeah. Because we don't want to say uh wrong information. Yeah. Yeah. If you get sick, otherwise you're going to be paying a lot of money. But, you know, it's okay for us because we have insurance. So 13 minutes more. Okay. So just going straight.
