Auberge Le Jardin D'Antoine Montreal

So I haven't actually flown out yet, but I'm planning to.. In 9 hours. I just wanted to get my fans pumped up to read more about my adventures.

It's snowing a lot outside (in GFPK). I foresee a nice 1.5 hour bus ride from downtown Montreal to PET airport.

There is a mighty river flowing from a great inland sea. Half way down the river is an isle with a mountain in the middle. Around the mountain is a city. First people called it Ville Marie. We called it Montreal in Middle French

In the center of the city is a plaza where Iroquois defended themselves against whites. Now the place is taken by a bank. Both sides lost.

Around the plaza were the cobblestone streets with the stores closed ...

... Zeca, que mora aqui perto. É uma pena que ele vai voltar pro Brasil daqui a uma semana. Os amigos aqui são a nossa família, mas cada um está num momento diferente e às vezes é difícil de se encontrar. E, claro, sempre que posso, visito Tiago, Tati e Laurinha, que tomou a vacina da H1N1 e ficou com febre, mas já tá se recuperando.



À bientôt!

Ok, premier test avec les sacoches pleines ce matin!
Mon bike pèse 33 libres et j'ai 45 livres de sacoches. Mon vélo est un TANK indestructible!

Selon mon cyclomètre j'ai fait 60 kilomètres, selon Google Map je suis supposé en avoir fait 52. Qui dit vrai?!

Je me suis perdu dans Longueuil et mon matelas de sol rouge a fait un vol plané quand je ...

... the large tide movements in Maine and this sounds like an interesting thing to view. The shuttle bus home took longer to get back than to go in, we were the last dropped off. Home to relax and catch up on some food and report back to our loyal followers. It looks like Maine is our next target, we have decided that we have had enough of learning French, so are heading south East towards Maine USA tomorrow. At least we can read and understand the language, and we might even find a real Wal Mart.

... Our goal is to make it to South-Eastern Maine (somewhere around Bangor I believe) and spend the night with our aunt Vivienne (my moms sister). Let me leave it at that for now incase plans change enroute. That's all I have for you today amigos. We rode a grand total of 682 miles today. Roads travelled today: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&sadd r ...

... Andy was driving thru the random ****** roads like a champ...amazing what a bit of snow can do at night. He got us there with time to spare and all it cost us was a Timmy's coffee.....pretty fair I think. Thanks agin guys!! So the fights went pretty good right up to the point where we got on the plane in Edmonton, seems they don't fly too good with a bunch of snow on the wings. Not a prob till you de-ice....same time as everyone else....so ...

... where we were able to pick up some information on Montreal. The thing that seemed to interest us the most was Old Montreal. We had wanted to stay there, but couldn't afford it. Plus, all the rooms were booked. We later found out this is the week of Montreal's Jazz Festival. We ventured down to the water where we enjoyed a walk along the quay and a massive climb up the clock tower. It had nice views of the city, and was quite a ...

... Basilique Notre-Dame. This has no resemblance nor any connection to the "real" Notre Dame in Paris, but we had heard so much about it that we wanted to visit to see its beauty for ourselves. As we crossed the street to visit the basilica, a young lady sitting atop a horse-drawn carriage invited us to take a tour of the city. We declined for the moment and told her that we would consider it later in the day. This was a treat I ...

On the roadtrip of a lifetime, our family journeyed from central Wisconsin by car North, through Canada, and ended up at our first major stop, Montreal. However, we were surprised that almost everyone in the stores spoke not in the traditional Canadian accent of Western Canada (one with which we all could speak as a second language having roots in Minnesota), but rather in French. Embarrassment was high ...
