Traveling by train is the way to get from place to place if the distances are short, the ride gives you time to catch up on things like email, reading, sleep etc and the scenery is lovely as you may notice in the picture above. You arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and having accomplished a lot while having seen some of the surrounding areas rather than only clouds while flying. I had a wonderful train ride from Toronto to Montreal. I got a lot done, caught up on my rest and talked to a few friends on my cell phone as well as listening to some audio books. It was a restful trip and my lovely Montreal daughter was at the station to pick me up.
The minute you get into Central Station you are in the French culture. It’s like being in the Paris of Canada. You enter a very different world and its best to just embrace it.
More on the Montreal experience tomorrow. Bon Nuit tout le monde
Thanks for the blog, Marilyn. It’s great to be able to keep up with you on your travel adventures.
