Road Trip was the theme of the day as we started off through the New England country side en route to Montreal. Our run for the border was delayed only slightly by some poor navigation on my part and my GPSR said we had an overall average spped of 60 some odd miles and hour, not bad for the number of stops we made. Emma bore the trip quite well. As you can see from the picture, she was rarin' to get on the road and get the trip started.
The Vermont and New Hampshire countrysides were beautiful, but repetitious however and the move into Canada was a complete geogaphical shift from the granite outcroppings in Vermont to the flat corn fields of Southern Quebec Province. It reminded me of my ol' Indiana days.
The only real trouble we had all day was finding the Hotel. Montreal is a bear of a place to drive and our maps were rudimentry at best. It was a fascinating look at the town though as we seeked our lodgings. This town has a pulse, very vibrant with lots of people walking the streets and shopping in the uptown district. Even as we made out way to the downtown business district where out hotel is, there was still plenty of life in the town.
The icing on the day was the trip to our hotel room. Wow it's nice, this is a four star hotel and we're in a four star room. It's a corner suite with a great view of the town, lots of extra space and an insanely huge bathroom.
