Montreal

On leaving Quebec City we crossed the St. Lawrence River and headed  to Montreal on the South side, crossing back to the North Shore at Trois Rivieres staying at an RV Park at Pt. Calumet just a few kms from my hometown. The next day we took the commuter train from Deux Montagnes into Montreal. 

 The commuter rail service from Deux Montagnes to Montreal that I used to take to work 50 plus years ago and takes about 50 minutes.

The Place Ville Marie building where I worked for Alcan on the 26th floor in the early 1960ies. The building was at that time new and the tallest in Montreal.

Old meets new in Downtown Montreal.

Both Montreal and Quebec City are known for their caleche rides.

One of the many Squares in Old Montreal full of offices and restaurants, like the one below.
The company John worked for many years ago had it's head office in the red brick building below.

At right on 5pm, we caught the commuter train back to Deux Montagnes with all the workers from the city.  To start with John and Peggy were able to get separate seats, but not together. We stood for a while then and a young girl offered me her seat and the Bill was offered one near by.  As Deux  Montagnes is the second to last stop on the trip we had a good feel what it is to be a daily commuter.  I took the photo as just about everyone was working on their device or had a little 'shut eye'.
