Border to Border-Chapter 5!

Montreal - what can I say having growing up here
it brings back lots of memories.
 One thing that has not changed - Montreal drivers have their turn signals removed at the time their vehicle leaves the dealer.
 
This trip was to visit John's aunts, 96 and 84 years,
Mary's sister, 84 years, Mary's two nephews and one niece,
 a friend she knew from the first grade and a friend
 with whom she went to high school.
 
 
This was a good visit giving both lots of time to bring up family history and jog our elders memories.

We were able to take a side trip and visit with Robert and Lucie. Here is a picture of the two relaxing at their home.
 

While visiting we were able to slip away for a few hours
and visit Oka park.
 We used to go there when we lived in Montreal.
 About 25 years ago the locals started a nude beach.
Since this is provinical park nudity at this park is tolerated.
The walk from the parking lot and the textile beach
 to the nude beach is about 4.5 kilometers.
This is a nice sandy beach and on a weekday
had about 100 nudists enjoying the 90 degrees. 
 
After Montreal we will be heading west to Ottawa,
but that will wait for the next chapter.
 
 
Hugs,
John & Mary

In California no one has to use their turn signals! They are so advanced here that they communicate telepathically. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before they do away with brake lights also. It does make driving an adventure.

Enjoy your trip.
