Teen trekkers are known for their gritty biking and creative camp stove creations (everything from miscellaneous goop to bean mush). However, during their full off day exploring Montreal they took the liberty of handing their Chefs hats off to professionals and spent the day tasting foods from around the city.
To start the day, the girls went for maple lattes while the boys chose to sleep in. Soon the group came together near the infamous rubber duck store, famished, and ready to try a Tim Hortons Donut. The group quickly took down a dozen donuts which passed with flying colors and moved on to their next stop; the illustrious Montreal bagel. Their quest took them to La Fabrique de Bagel. After buying enough sesame bagels to have leftovers (an impressive feat for this group), the crew made their way to a series of awesome Montreal thrift stores, curiously named Eva B and Ava D.
After satiating both their appetites and shopping habits, the group ventured onto the metro. They rated the metro high on a hypothetical scale of metro systems, as it was clean, fast and had wheels. Their trip on the metro took them to the Montreal Biosphere where they learned about various scientific phenomena. They left the museum ravenous and continued their food tour back to downtown where they enjoyed a delectable Mediterranean dinner. Lastly, they capped off the day with DIY root beer floats (bringing ice cream into an a&w) which was a group hit and went grocery shopping for a big homemade breakfast tomorrow. Deciding to walk home after their day of eating the group serendipitously ran into the L’International des Feux Loto-Québec (an annual firework competition) where the group watched an astounding fire works show. A magical day to end a magical trip! Stay tuned tomorrow for more adventures and a group highlight reel.
