Montreal to PEI

The wine and pasta in Montreal was great. While we were too tired to head downtown to see Lisa's percussion group play (sorry Lisa!) and too late by the time we finished eating, we did head around the corner to a little pub for some more wine, and hit the hay in the early morning hours.

We awoke the next morning and hit the road shortly before noon. We arrived in Edmonston around 6 or 7pm. I called up my sister Jean in Miramichi, and we started on the terrible terrible road from Plaster Rock to there. I don't understand how people were driving so fast on it. I averaged about 60 km per hour the whole way, and we were still bouncing around. FIX YOUR ROADS NEW BRUNSWICK!

So what we figured would be a 2 and a half-hour drive turned into a 3 hour drive, but it felt more like 4 hours. But we got there, and slept well. I got up early to chat with my neices before they headed off to school, and shower. We eventually left Miramichi around 10am and got home to PEI around 1pm. The roads were heavenly after the Plaster Rock Road night-time horror.

I drove almost straight out to mom and dad's for the night, and slept quite well. I'm back in Charlottetown now, and it feels wierd. Sort of like I've just had one crazy long dream. :)
