The New York - Montreal Trekkers had a superb day in Montreal. They started off with a great breakfast at McGill University:

They went up to the Chalet du Mont Royal at the top of Mont Royal, the hill that gives the city of Montreal its name, and ate lunch while enjoying sweeping views of the city.

Finally, they got in some exercise on the swings and slides at a playground and had a pull-up contest on the monkey bars.
Tonight, they'll take an overnight bus back to NYC, where they'll run around the city together before pickups in the afternoon.
