Montreal on Saturday







We learn that the subway doesn’t run to the suburbs on Saturday so we ended up driving into the city, again. Fortunately at 9am on Saturday all the locals must be in advanced formula one racing school. It was pretty quiet. First a 3 hour guided bus tour gave us good view of the city and a lot of information ---in English and then again in French. The afternoon attempt to find Irene “an outfit” in the boutique shops in old city Montreal was pretty much a bust. The rains returned with a vengeance and after hours of walking and running streets we gave up the quest. Completely drenched we found a lifeboat--a sidewalk (canopied) restaurant where a little wine, a draft beer or two, seafood dinner, topped off with French chocolate pastry dessert made it all worthwhile. Oh yeah we did go back and get that pair of shoes seen earlier. Montreal Adieu!
