To Montreal

The day started off dry enough, so we took one final nostalgic visit, this time to Dawn's English High School to which the military delivered her for high school. She had no idea that the school was a mere two kilometres from the historic section of old Quebec City. The school is looking a little tired, so either there is a new English High School or there are not many English students anymore. The short travel leg today-under 300 km- was mostly rainy and when we arrived at our Hotel LaBelle hotel and Suites, our room wasn't ready, so we drove downtown to the underground shopping concourse where Dawn found herself a new outfit. We then drove to the Latin Quarter for lunch a 3 Brasseurs, a popular pub chain in Quebec. The fellows at the next table seemed to have their beer needs under control. This container held 3-5 litres. Later in the afternoon, we finally got into our room, parked the car in the hotel garage and settled in. Since we have a kitchenette, we next visited an IGA a short walk away on a pedestrian Ste. Catherine St. What a fabulous downtown grocery store! That will save us from eating out every meal. We are hoping for two things tomorrow. No or at least less rain and a nice walk through old Montreal.
