Exhaustion: climbing up Mont. Royale
We arrived at a KOA in the outskirts of Montreal on May 29, that night we played Scrabble on a picnic table by the light of ski headlamps. Our day in Montreal was long, and very hot. We took the Metro (subway) around, but still did a lot of walking. First we went inside the Notre Dame church, which, although it has the sme name, is not a replica of the church in France. After touring Old Montreal, we hiked up Mont. Royale. Mont Royale is a large tourist attraction because of the great views it offers and historic cross. We were given walking directions by a tourist information person, so we walked. What she did NOT tell us was that there was a Metro station that was positioned very close to Mont. Royale, which would have saved us a lot of time and energy. By the time we arrived, we were tired, so we stopped in the grassy area at the foot of the mountain before starting to climb. There we saw a white squirrel and pigeons. Eventually we made it to the top, where we took in the view and refilled our water bottles.When we were somewhat rested, we went down the shortcut of stairs that we hadn't seen on our way up, and a few blocks from the bottom of the stairs, was a metro station that would take us back too Old Montreal for dinner. After we had got off the MEtro that took us near our motorhome, we stumbled upon the Montreal Canadians hall iof fame, which was (to Dad, not me) a bonus.
