Day 45 - Montreal

The ride into Montreal was short and sweet. Our first introduction to Montreal was this fun spiral ramp into Sainte Anne.


Then we followed Lakeshore Road past ritzy houses, and that led us most of the way downtown.

Isabel and I rode together and arrived at the hotel at around 1:30. Fortunately, they were able to check us in early so we could hit the showers and explore a bit. Our rooms at Hotel Le Dauphin were pretty swanky.


Quite a step up from the campgrounds. As we walked around Old Montreal, the sun was searing. Then, a welcome cool breeze rolled in.


It was so refreshing to sit in the breeze along the waterfront, but the breeze brought dark clouds and, soon after that picture was taken heavy rain.

Isabel and I headed back to the hotel in our T-shirts and shorts, occasionally huddling in doorways with groups of other ill-prepared travelers. It was a memorable walk.

After that, I went down the street for Chinese buffet with long-time coworker David, and chewed the fat both literally and figuratively. Thank God for the buffet.
