Lunch and Snack go to Quebec,
then Montreal. |
|
Quebec at last! The cows take a ride up to the top of the Observatoire de la Capitale for a cowbird's-eye-view of this beautiful city. It's 727 feet above the street. | |
Lunch and Snack take a tour of the Citadel and see the old city, Vieux-Quebec, and the St. Lawrence Seaway from the lookout. The big ship is the Queen Elizabeth 2 and the big building is the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. | |
Lunch goofs off in the old canon next to the part-time residence of the Governor General of Canada at the Citadel, Quebec's military installation dating back to the early 1800s. | |
The RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 ocean liner followed the cows to Quebec from Bar Harbor. Yes, it really was in Bar Harbor just a few days earlier. It can carry about 1,700 passengers and 1,000 crew members--or 927 cows. | |
"Guess what, Lunch. It's 574 feet high!"
The cows visit Montreal's Olympic Stadium, the main venue of the 1976 Summer Olympics. |
|
At the top of the tower above Olympic Stadium, you can see a panoramic view of Montreal. | |
Lunch and Snack make friends with a king penguin at the Montreal Biodome inside Olympic park. | |
Lunch tries to stay reverent inside the massive Basilique Notre-Dame de Montreal, but he got on a laughing jag anyway. When it was built in the early 1800s, it was the largest church in North America. | |
The cows find yet another cathedral in town. They look it up in their guidebook. This time, it's the Notre Dame de Bonsecours. | |
"It's the Montreal Biosphere, Snack--the former United States pavilion at Expo '67. Now it's a museum dedicated to water and the environment. It's making me thirsty." |
