Day 9 - Long Drive Home

We made it back to Bethesda. Everything is just how we left it, except for one thing–I looked out the window, and I saw all these giant trees that I don’t remember being on the street. They are all over the place, on all the streets we can see from our balcony. I swear, I [...]

We woke up early so we could get a head start on the day, before the rain started to pour. Art Delvin’s Olympic Motor Inn really was a great hotel–we loved our balcony, and our room even had a couch and a fridge. Compared to the hotel in Montreal, this was very spacious and nice.
We [...]

Day 8 Forecast

Rain

We are right by Saranac Lake.

Today was our last morning in Montreal. We had another breakfast at the cafe attached to our hotel. It was just ok.
Before leaving the city, we walked around the neighborhood a bit in search of souvenirs. We didn’t find any, but we did find some more beer to buy. Running alcoholic beverage bottle count: 11. [...]

And finally, the moment arrived, la piece de resistance, the time of our reservation at the Magical Foie Gras Goodness Restaurant, Au pied de cochon. They were only a little disappointed that it wasn’t the “real” Larry King.
The meal was fantastic. “Best meal of my life” and “best dish I’ve ever had” were uttered at [...]

Day 6 - Hot

Wow, what a day.
We are whipped. We just ate at Au Pied de Cochon, and now we’re sitting at a cafe in the Latin Quarter. Slowly digesting our food.
We began the day by taking the metro downtown to eat breakfast at Eggspectation on Aubrey and Tim’s recommendation. This place had more varieties of eggs benedict [...]

We woke up a bit late today…the cheese curd on the poutine last night really turned us into zombies.
We got a complete “American” Breakfast at the cafe in our hotel this morning. Thank god, really, because I really didn’t want to eat a Canadian Breakfast.
We decided to start the day with a visit to the [...]

After breakfast on Monday, we hit the road for Montreal. It was a pretty drive through the Adirondack Mountains, although we had a hard time finding a place to eat lunch. None of the little towns were open! We finally found an Irish hole-in-the-wall in Elizabethtown. There, we met a very friendly grandma who told [...]

The drive to New York

A little taste of our drive to New York. It rained most of the way, but was pleasant otherwise. Video editing is coming along slowly, as there is little time with all the fun we are having. More to come later.
