Day 47 and 48 June 22-23, 2011 Two days off in Montreal
23 Jun
We spent Wednesday and Thursday in Montreal.
Both mornings we had a huge buffet at the Delta Hotel. Well Lauren and I did. Mike missed out on the first morning as he took the RV in to get serviced while Lauren and I stuffed our faces.
Our RV needed to get serviced and to have one of the side hatch doors repaired after an un-named driver drove off with it open and it smacked into a tree. There have also been some odd problems with our windshield wipers, some other electrical malfunctions, and it has been 10,000km so far so we felt it could do with a service.
I haven’t been to Montreal in about 10 years and it was nice to be back. Lauren and I walked around Montreal a bit and we did odd jobs that we either haven’t had the time to do or couldn’t do in the smaller towns.
The three of us went shopping for running gear and Mike tried to buy running shoes at the Running Room but it turns out his feet are too wide for normal shoes. His feet are actually really wide. There was only one pair of shoes that fit the width of his foot but they didn’t have his size. It's like he's got hobbit feet, which is weird because he's not short like a hobbit.
I spent a lot of time during those two days working on my research. While I was doing that Lauren and Mike drove around Montreal on our scooter exploring the city. I also tried to get caught up on my blog (clearly it didn’t happen).
The Delta has a saltwater pool and the three of us spent one morning swimming, which was great. The Delta also had a spa and I was able to get a deep tissue massage on my legs. My calves are really tender and when she dug into them with her elbow, it hurt. They felt so much better after that it might have been worth it, though I’m still trying to decide if I would get another one.
On Wednesday night we had dinner at Guido Angelina, an Italian restaurant directly beside Club Supersexe. Our table was right next to the window so all the strippers were smoking in the alcove right next to us. Mike and Lauren were checking them out all night.
Thursday night we had a late dinner in the hotel surrounded by kids from one of the local school’s prom.
Tomorrow I head towards Ottawa.
