Montreal
Good morning from the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Montreal. After a long day of plane rides and time changes we are glad to be here in French-speaking Canada, preparing to board the ms Maasdam. It's a 10 minute ride to the pier just below Old Montreal and we should be on board in time for an early lunch and then have time to go ashore again to explore the area.
There was lots going on Friday night in Montreal, including a big "Montreal Day" celebration right outside our hotel in front oh the Opera House. But after a short walk and dinner in the hotel, we were ready to get a good night's.
The next posting will tell about our Saturday adventures in Montreal and boarding the Maasdam--and our wonderful Neptune Suites accommodation--with pictures too!

Bonjour from Montreal
__03.jpg)
At home in Tucson, AZ, since 2005, I live with my partner of over 47 years--and husband of six years--Will Feathers. I grew up in New York City (1947-67), earned my BA from CUNY in 1967 and my PhD in English from Indiana University/ Bloomington in 1974. I served on the full-time faculty of the English Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, from 1971 to 2004 (33 years), when I accepted an offer for early retirement. Last year (April 2022), we sold our house and moved into an Independent Living Senior Retirement Community in Tucson, where we have made many new friends.
