Waking up Monday morning in Fredericton, to yet another warm sunny day was fantastic. The small weight of work that was on my shoulders had now left (for the time being) and our drive home would begin. Fredericton has an art gallery that has some Dali and Turner in its permanent collection. One of the girls is a big art lover, so we stopped in to the gallery before starting the trek home. It was a small gallery compared to ones I have been in in London and Paris, so we knocked it off in an hour or two. The Dali they had was okay. I guess I’m not a huge Dali fan. I did some some pieces that reminded me of a piece I had seen at the Louvre, so I made a note of the artists name. There was some fantastic water colour and oil paintings, so I grabbed a few photos (we were allowed to photograph, with no flash, items in their permanent collection). After the gallery we grabbed some Starbucks coffee and were on the road to Toronto.
We made great time. It was unreal the time we made. Even with the stop we made to see the worlds largest axe in Nackawick, NB.
Our first goal was to make Levi, QC. but that was to easy. We passed though Levi around 7pm, and decided to make the push to Montreal. We rolled into Montreal around 9pm and looked for a place to stay. We ended up at Canada’s largest Holiday Inn, right downtown.
What a big day: first the worlds largest axe, and now Canada’s largest Holiday Inn. It is almost to much for one main to fathom. By the time we got settled, and the girls got ready, we made dinner at 11pm and found a nice spot called Pino with a late kitchen. It was nice Italian restaurant, though the Pino Gregio was a little corky. All in all it was a great last night. Warm weather, bustling downtown core, and great people.
No stop is complete without some goofing around and tomfoolery of course.
Next stop, Mississauga and the end of the adventure.
