Iceman Cruising

After finding our spot on the wall we registered and found out where all the facilities were and did the laundry - a 2 hour job . Following a big feed of liver and onions which I cooked to Lori's satisfaction we walked up town and walked west along main street to where we could get on the river trail back to the boat . It was dotted with signs denoting the past history which was mostly industrial . The next morning we headed to Iroquois Lock and on for Crylser Marina ,which is in a Provincial Park which also has Upper Canada Village . We walked around the park in the afternoon and then found that we could get free admission and a ride to the village . The next morning after assisting some Looper's with directions ,we went to Upper Canada Village and returned after enjoying lunch at one of the restaurants - the mushroom , onion and cheddar cheese melt on freshly bake bread from the bakery in U C V was super as was Lori's vegetable soup and toast .
The next morning we were up early and left by 6am for Eisenhower lock and were held up for 3 1/2 hours before we could enter the attached Snell lock . On the Cornwall Marina for fuel and a pumpout before continuing on the Valleyfield , QC marina for 2 nights . We reconnected with the looper's for a while that evening . The next morning we went grocery shopping and asked the looper's to come to the boat about 7 pm for drinks . We had a great evening with Judy & Brian and Kathy and Tom .
Off the next morning for Saint Anne de Bellevue at the south end of greater Montreal . We planned to stay at least 2 nights . Our first night we enjoyed fish & fries at Peter Cape Cod restaurant after walking up and down the main steer along the river . The next morning we walked to the bus stop and rode for about an hour to the subway and on to Old Port area for Montreal and Old Montreal . We spent a few hours walking , Lori bought a dress , and we enjoyed a great corned beef sandwich , super day !!!!!!!!!!! The next morning , July 1st we decided to move on ..
