The honorary Canadian goat.  The Batallion's mascot.  Given to them by the Queen of England.  This one is the 11th generation.

  The changing of the guards.

View of city from Citadel

 Canadians are proud people, Je me souviens (I remember)

 Like Montreal, Quebec city has plenty of beautiful churches

  They have a funicular that takes one to the bottom of the hill. 

  Quebec City has lots of public art work and statues.

Montreal, Canada

 Images projected onto the WB building.  Looked pretty cool at night.

Visit to Olympic Stadium.  Built in 1976 and it looks pretty worn out.

  Henri sitting in the Gnome area waiting for the Gnome-Olympic games to begin.  He is a bit early.

 Waiting for others to show up.

  Posing by the Olympic Stadium Tower.  Had to go up.

 One of the views from atop the Olympic Stadium Tower.

 Dropped by the Olympic swimming pool for a bit of relaxation.  It is open for the public.

  The games were a long time ago.  The 21st Olympiad.

  Choice seats for the Gnome games. 

  Henri is a big fan of Ms. Celine Dion. 

Montreal, Canada

Henri hanging out in Chinatown, Montreal.

  I think it says to stop. Why stop when there is so much to see.

 Going to the local Basilica.  They charge $5 to go in but Gnomes are free.

 Paying respect inside the church.  Took hat off.
