Montreal

What a send off we had today- I think that they were afraid that we wouldn't go! Al and his wife collected us and brought us out to brunch where we were joined by Muriel and Joanne. After a trucker size breakfast it was off to the airport. They very kindly stayed to wave us onto the plane as the departure was at risk of being fogbound. It was quite emotional to say goodbye as we were truly blessed and cared for by the people on the placement.

Arrived in Montreal and travelled to the hotel - Square Phillips - another hit for the site www.tripadvisor.com where I found the recommendation. Smack bang in the middle of the city. We are on the 10th floor so its lovely and quiet. We unpacked and headed out to investigate our surroundings. We are just off the main shopping street and they are all having sales!!!!!! Oh no, there goes the weight of the cases........ We had a great dinner - the most tender steak I have had in a long time. We will head out to start the touristy things tomorrow. A week here then home for a rest!
