Kaitlyn, Malori and I took a nice leisurely day today. Katie wanted to ride by herself, so we just toodled our way to Montreal. It was a beautiful ride, again along the St. Lawrence. We stopped at a patisserie once we were in QC for some croissants and other goodies and then we continued to our camp. We are staying the weekend at Kahnawake Survival School in Kahnawake, just outside Montreal. We were having trouble finding a place big enough around Montreal to host us and the people in Kahnawake stepped up to help us out after hearing that we had also been aided by the Zuni and the Navajo while in New Mexico. Pretty neat!

Sunday we headed to Montreal for an excellent church service at a Presbyterian
church in downtown Montreal. The
building was absolutely beautiful. Then,
5 of us decided to head down to Boul. Rene Levesque as the Pride parade was happening. I’ve never been to a Pride parade before, so
it was certainly an experience! We loved
the dancing and the drums and the environment in general. Then, Justin Trudeau came walking down the
parade route! I was so excited, I yelled
“Justin!!” at him, which led him over for a photo op! Most excellent indeed! After the parade, we headed to Old Montreal for a much needed lunch
(mussels!) and a stroll around Vieux-Montreal.
It was a great break from cycling!
This week I only have 3.5 cycling days, as I will be headed to Ontario
on Thursday to stand up for my friend Jenn in her wedding (Friday) before
busting it back to NYC to make it for the end of the tour.
