Two out of three of us were out of bed before 9am and with a little coaxing we were all to the Parma Cafe just after 10am. We caffeinated and had bagels and croissants to get us going and then set about choosing our first destination. As the week is waning and the day looked like good weather, we decided to make the trek out to the Olympic Park.
Happily, the Metro makes this an easy journey and we arrived to a long but swiftly moving line at the Biodome and were inside by noon (hint – you can buy your tickets online and skip the line!) The Biodome is a multi-biosphere complex which recreates a tropical rainforest, a Laurentian Maple forest, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and sub-polar regions of the Americas. The Biodome “aims to raise individual and collective awareness about the need to get involved in protecting our natural heritage.”
