Day 6 - Sep 4, 2014 Last updated: 9/17/14 8:00pm PT
We bought a subway day pass because we were traveling a little farther afield today. A 1 day pass is only $10, which becomes beneficial when you ride more than three times. We rode the subway to do laundry (we needed to use real machines and there wasn’t a laundromat near the hotel). Afterwards, we went to the farmer’s market (Jean-Talon) for lunch.
We also took the subway to Île Sainte-Hélène, an island that has a theme park and was the site of the World’s Fair in 1967. The Biosphere was the pavilion of the United States, a geodesic dome that had acrylic tiles, but those melted in a fire in the ’70s. Now the building inside the dome is an environmental museum.

Dinner was at Dunn’s Famous Smoked Meat. Tastes a little like corned beef. I had the poutine with smoked meat and Denise had the sandwich. It was good.
