Being stuck in Montreal wile the boat exhaust system is being repaired is pretty wonderful. We had planned to spend time here while tied up at a local marina, but now will skip Montreal when we eventually get back. Funny, it took us about 45 minutes to get here by bus and will take several days by boat as the river Richelou runs
Due north to the St Lawrence then we go up the SL to Montreal.
Yesterday we had a real
Great experience as we toured the L'Oratoire Saint Joseph du Mont Royal the former home of Frere Andre. Those at Togus will remember Richard Steinberg (now known as Richard the Retired), in his previous life he also was also known as Brother Andre. It was an amazing place. Beautiful and inspiring Basilica and grounds and a wonderful chapel to Ste Joseph as well as the Chapelle de Frere Andre. Brother Andre has just been elevated to Sainhood.
We have gorged ourselves on French cuisine and will have a special visit to the Montreal Poutine just before we take the bus back to Saint Paul Sur Richelou.
