It was a gorgeous morning when we left Sudbury, Ontario, for the last leg of our journey to Montreal. The lady in the Garmin told us it would be an 8 hour trip. We continued east (or ‘est’ if you’re in Canada) along Trans-Canada 17, a lovely two-lane road that crisscrossed some of the most beautiful countryside either of us had ever seen. Note the pictures below of Lake Nipissing. It was an awesome sight…plus it has a super cool name. Nipissing. It made us giggle, but we don’t like to show our mature side TOO often.
We stopped for breakfast at Zellers, which is like a Canadian Target. Yes, it has a restaurant in it. So, I guess that makes it more like a Canadian Wal-mart. Still, the food was good and we enjoyed the company of the 70-somethings around us. When we stopped for gas, I had my most amazing Canadian experience of the trip so far. Like a moron, I’m wearing a “Wisconsin Grilled Cheese Academy” t-shirt (give me a break, it was free). I gave the guy my card to pay and he looked at my chest and said, “traveling from the States, eh?” While I absolutely adored the way he spoke to me, I was forced to hang my head and utter “yeah…”. Stupid American. Calley found this most amusing.
We stopped outside Ottawa at a sports bar for lunch. I think we could probably catch the Packer game there…alas, it would be a 2 hour drive. As we approached Montreal we learned two things: 1) traffic is extremely heavy – even at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday, and 2) Montrealers drive like jackasses. Getting to the condo was a bit of a white-knuckle experience, but we made it. Once we got here, we were so pleased! The condo exceeded our expectations – it’s beautiful! The place is decorated out of the pages of the Potterybarn catalog (which makes Calley feel right at home). We immediately unpacked and made ourselves at home.

Our first meal in Montreal was Thai. While that may make no sense, the food was delicious and our little waiter dude was super accommodating with our lack of mastery of the French language. The trip to the convenience store to buy a bottle of wine was a bit of a different experience, but Cal was able to get us through it. The neighborhood we’re staying in reminds me very much of the East Side of Milwaukee – lots of little restaurants, art galleries, etc. Everyone seems to keep to themselves, which is ok. We’re used to making eye contact with people walking down the sidewalk and exchanging pleasantries. People here seem to want nothing to do with that, but they don’t come off as ‘rude’ by any means.
Tomorrow we hope to explore more of the city. There are a few parks nearby and we found an awesome little diner that’s calling our name for breakfast. We also found a grocery store so we can buy some food to take advantage of the gas grill and beautiful outdoor patio.
Bon soir!
