There's No Rig Parking In Montreal

When we woke up in the lush ONroute parking lot in Ontario (ONroute is the Canadian equivalent to the American rest-stop and their motto is "Turning Rest-Stops Into Best-Stops") we were faced with a few hurdles to overcome: We were headed to Quebec without the proper AAA book, without any Canadian money and without brushing up on our French first, but we still tried to make the best of things!

Thanks to Jason for the great recommendation...your homeland is indeed beautiful!

Apparently this is the site where miracle worker Brother Andre healed many sick people

The GPS took us down the tiniest, most crowded street to get here
& even though there was nowhere to park, at least we got to see it

We were hoping to have one more dish of delicious poutine in Canada, but when we
couldn't find parking again & the restaurant we wanted to try didn't take credit cards, we
decided it wasn't meant to be an opted for some American fare when we got back in the states
