Today was a no run day. We drove about a 100km away from the last run stop so we could meet the Deputy Mayor of Montreal Jane Cowell-Poitras. We were met with several council assistants, the official photographer of the city and a CTV Camera man.
We got to thank the Deputy Mayor for the beauty and warmth of Montreal. She gave us key chains, a book called “Yours Truly, Montreal”, a Montreal hat and bag, a scarf and some official pins. One pin that looks like 4 hearts tuck together are “four flowers, represent the city’s European heritage, surround the arms of a red cross: French lily, English rose, Scottish thistle, Irish clover.” The other pin has a funky way of writing ‘design’ on it as a tribute to Montreal being named a UNESCO City of Design.
I also got to sign the city's guest book.
Then we walked around Old Montreal and did some sight seeing. There was some souvenir shopping too. So instead of running I did almost an equal distance in walking today ;)
Because of the lateness of the time we decided to drive back to the motor home and move it across the bridge to Ontario. So technically I am now in Ontario; however, I have yet to run here.
Currently we are parked behind what looks like an empty building and on sort of a city park.
