Montreal Day 4 & 5

Saturday was leaving day. Got up and ready and it was looking like it was going to rain. Checked out and tried to pay for parking but couldn't find where you paid (or the car) so had to go back to the desk and reask for directions (again the signage could be alot better for parking and where to go). We found the pay parking area and then the car. It was about noon. Found the bar/pub street again and had so many choices to eat from so we saw the Hard Rock Cafe and went in there. Actually sat outside then it started to pour so we moved inside. Went out after we ate and it was still pouring and thunder and lightening. Ran to the car and I got out my map trying to guide us back to the tunnel to go home....I suck at reading that monteal map. Pete knew were we were going but I told him to turn off somewhere so he listened and it was the wrong way. He told me he thought he knew where he was going so I told him to not listen to me then. (ferry ride) I have no idea what I was doing or where we were going so I just sat back and let him drive and low and behold there was the tunnel that we needed.

The drive back was good. We got lost once. I think we took the exit to quebec. we went over a huge bridge and then drove into a downtown area and looking again for a tims and couldn't find one so we tried to find the highway again and after about 1/2 hour driving around we found it.
We made it back to Edmunston and it was the hugest thunder and lighting storm I have ever seen....no camping for us that night. We decided to drive to frederiction that night but then nearer Edmunston the rain was so much that we couldn't see 2 feet in front of us so we stopped at the Comfort Inn (which we get corporate rates there with Harris & Roome). We watched a movie that night and then went to bed (well I fell asleep around 9pm) not sure about him.

Got up (Sunday) and got ready and I told him that breakfast was surved till 10am so we were ready for that then I read the book which i read the night before as well and in the morning if said breakfast was only served till 9am so when he got out of the shower I broke gave him the bad news that our free breakfast was past the serving time (again I told him not to listen to me, has he not learned his lesson yet).

We found a restuarnt that served breakfast so we ate there. I think the only meals we ate in Montreal was Breakfast and the rest we just had icecream or something. A guy at work said I would come back 15lbs heaveir from eating all the french food but I came back lighter. I think my stomache shrunk cause in edmunston before we left the hotel I ate 3 timbits and then once I got to the restuarnt I ordered a bagel and I couldn't even eat 1/2 of it....thats weird for me.

Anyway after breakfast was over we headed home. We were going to stop in to Fredericton to see his friends but he wasn't sure if they moved there yet from Moncton or not so we kept going. We stopped into Moncton at Maganic Hill and did that and went to the zoo. Got back to Halifax probably around 7-8 i think. It was a wonderful trip. I had so much fun.

I have to admit that I was a little worried about going with Pete, just because of some stuff I heard about him and that he always goes out and parties and stuff like that so I told him before we left that he could not leave me alone whatso ever. And I was impressed with some things I found out about him and all those stories arn't completly true. Hes a great guy to hang around and we both had a great time. He did the stuff I wanted to do and he didn't mind not going out and just walking around.

Monday was a day of rest for us. I went tanning and thats about it.

And that Tuesday it was back to the grindstone...and has been ever since. Its only been about a month but I need another vacation...hahaha. Luckly this weekend is a long one. I think we're going to the fireworks tomorrow night and doing some tanning if its warm.

Well these last couple of posts I did all in one night so now I'm beat and it is 12:12am....gotta run.
