Montreal is very hot, very crowded, and very big. Mike and I split off from Janet, Ashley, and Simon to go for lunch. Of course, things never go smoothly and they ended up going in the opposite direction from us when they came to meet us. After many diversions, Mike and I split so I could get food and he could find them. So, I’m in one of the Burger King’s on Rue St Catherine, waiting for them to arrive.
Burger King food is terrible, especially in Montreal.
It’s an interesting city, though, and I like it a lot more than I would have ever imagined. It’s a city that’s big enough to actually deserve the label, unlike Halifax, which is a poor substitute. I don’t know if I could ever live here (mainly due to the french and the fact that I can’t speak it), but I wouldn’t mind coming back someday.
We leave for Ottawa tomorrow. We only have one night there — basically, whatever we see tomorrow is all we get to see of it. I’m a bit sad that we don’t have more time. Really, Ottawa shouldn’t have been part of the plan at all, but that’s the way things go.
