My shopping experience does not describe the whole of Sunday. Doug visited the Musee des Beaux Arts (free!). We returned to the Oratory and wandered through the relaxing Garden of the Way of the Cross, where "Jesus of Montreal" was filmed and took in an organ recital in the church. Near dinnertime, we joined Dean and David at David's apartment, had a cooling beer and walked through his neighbourhood, where our noses told us there was a good pizza restaurant. And, indeed, it was yummy. We topped it off with poutine. Finally, we drove over to Lafontaine Parc, enjoyed the lake and ambience, with a really good ice cream cone.
Our experience of the demonstrations has been minimal. Crescent Street - the epicentre - is only 2 blocks away, so we hear lots of noise, but we have stayed clear on purpose. Driving through David's end of town, we passed two neighbourhood "casseroles" (beating pots and pans). They seemed largely peaceful.
