Back on the bus...........and on to Montreal! Again pressed for time, the bus stopped at he hotel just to drop off our bags, then we went on to the Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum. We learned about a pioneer woman who helped bulld the city of Montreal. She was a nun who cared for the sailors, taught the children, took in young women and prepared them for pioneer life. The museum tour was very well presented and the view from the top was magnificent. 69 + 20 -89+ 24, but who is counting stairs anymore?
This Evening we went on a Dinner Cruise. We were late for the bus pickup which had the driver speeding thru evening & construction traffic. We were told the Boat wouldn't wait for us, but we stood on the dock for about a half hour before being escorted into the boat, and then waited for another group of people who were quite a bit later than us. : ) The evening didn't start out very well, and didn't end very well either. The noise level was about 20 decibles above deafening.
The quote of the day: after being served our drinks at the table we all raised our glasses to toast the evening;
one of the members raised his empty glass and said, "this is Very Dry White Wine!"
