Underground City, Desserts, Le Taj

The babies were cranky when they woke up and so was Candace. We went to Valentine, a Canadian fast food place in the Underground City. The food was not good. The Underground City is just a long string of malls underground, but it was still cool. It apparently poured for the 20 minutes we were there.

We went to a dessert restaurant that was not accessible. We left the wheelchair and stroller on the street and went in. While the Underground City was nearly deserted because it was Sunday evening, the dessert place was hopping. It offered assorted Asian dessertess. The babies were so excited for bingsoo. They ate it all, but made a mess. Candace loved her brown sugar bubble tea. It became late, so we went back to the hotel.

Today is a holiday. It's Victoria Day, known as Patriots Day in Quebec. We went to Tim Hortons for breakfast. Candace hates the iced coffee though. Then we walked to Quartier des Spectacles. The babies loved the artificial geass with benches and sculptures of dogs. They posed by one of the giant chessboards. Then we got on the musical swings, which never seemed to play music when I swung on them.

We went to a bookstore and I got a book on Canadian history so I can fill in a huge hole in my knowledge base. I got two books for the babies, one on Canada and then other on animals in French. The babies loved thestuff animals at the store, but we don't have room to take it back home. They handled the disappointment really well.

Then we ate at Le Taj, a fancy Indian buffet. The baboes did well. They wostly had naan, rice, vegetables, and fruit. Tali had a rare accident while on the chair. The food was disappointing for such a well rated restaurant. It would be average at best at home. They had beef curry,   rarity in an Indian restaurant in my experience. It was tough.

Then we went back to the hotel. It was supposed to rain all morning, but it was nice out.
