Bonjour

It has been a whirlwind trip with Steve for the past week. We packed a lot in during that time and I think I need to relax tomorrow and recharge. The drive to Montreal took the most of Wednesday but we arrived in Montreal just in time for rush hour! :) We did not have to drive all over the place looking for a place to stay when we arrived here because the tourist centre at the border was able to find and reserve us a room. It made our life a lot easier and we stayed in a nice place very central just north of Vieux Montreal. I am now staying at a hostel very close by to that hotel. It has been a while since I last stayed in a hostel so it is bringing back memories of Europe. I just hope my car is safe where I left it. Some of the highlights of Montreal so far have been the live comedy show at the Comedy Nest. It is in the old Montreal Forum and we had front row seats to a really great show. Fortunately we were not bugged by the comedians although they had a golden opportunity. The same cannot be said for the poor girl sitting next to us. The comedian was making fun of her for being too slow getting the jokes. We also saw the old port area, the McCord Museum, Mont Royal and did a lot of walking. Steve will appreciate the fact that I did not drag him to the Canadian Railway Museum on the south shore as I spent most of the afternoon there.
Well I must sign off, my 20 minutes are up.
