Montreal
Determined to see why everyone talks beams about Montreal as one of the greatest cities, we decided to drive in with our bikes early on the morning we were set to leave. We started near the beginning of the Lachine canal, a bike path that stretches 15 miles along the canal. The canal was once filed in after it was no longer used for shipping, but in the 70s the city began revitalizing the area. It was our first sunny day, and the biking along the canal was fantastic. Old warehouses were being converted into lofts, and you could see how quickly this area is changing. We happened to hit bike rush hour: many locals use the path to get to and from work. We had uninterrupted views of the city, as well as the biosphere that seems to float up from the trees like a gigantic air bubble.
At last, Montreal has redeemed itself. After a few hours biking, we got back to the RV in time to pack up and head out. On to Niagara Falls!
