Montreal, Staying 2 nights

We arrived at Camp Alouette June 2.  The traffic was stop and go so we decided to set up camp have supper then go for a walk.  Walk was good.  A hill up to the top of the campground.  Lots of tents---a group called West Connection Teens seemed to be set for the week with huge "army" type tents set up.  Lots of different campers around.  This property is also right next to a business that sells all types of campers and also has a fairly well stocked camper supply store.

June 3, today was suppose to be a fairly nice day with no rain.  It did mist a bit here and there.  We decided to drive to University of Montreal and park then take the subway in.  Or the Metro into Montreal.  We finally found the underground -- not very well marked.  In Toronto, you follow the PATH.  In Montreal you hunt for RES or Eaton Centre.  Not a lot of difference from Toronto as far as what is in the underground.  We had lunch at Mike's which was really good.

After the underground, we decided to go to Old Montreal.  We have been one time before but it is always good to see again with the cobblestone streets, artists, and poutine places.  Once we got in our 15thousand steps we decided to go to the Casino.

The Casino is located on an island.  But also on our way back to where we parked the truck.  Hopped the Metro and then transferred to a bus to the Casino.  Neither of us won---well, Al won 30 cents.  I lost my money but had fun.

We got back to camp in time to make a quick supper and get ready for the hockey game.  Al worked with the satellite dish yesterday in order to make sure there was hockey on tonight.  Reception is good without the satellite dish tho.
