Or as we say in Missouri, "good afternoon."
We are now in Montreal and will have tomorrow to rest up for the trip back to Chenango Bridge, NY on Monday. There are many items of interest in this major metropolitan area but we have been driving for a few days and believe that we will just rest up for the trip home with perhaps a lunch/dinner out. We have found that in this Montreal area folks speak more English without a strong French accent except at the grocery store where we ask for help to find things.
On the drive today I was thinking about how the States of MO, IA, & MN have upgraded a route between St. Louis, MO and St. Paul, MN to a freeway status and then named it the "Avenue of the Saints" because of the names of the cities at each end. I believe that today's route has to be the true (avenue of the saints) because 99% of the towns on the Sortie (exit) signs along the whole distance were to a town called Saint this, Saint that, and Saint something or other. I never knew there were this many saints.
