We packed up and started towards Montreal. The Iroquois locks were just 20 minutes down the road and we had been told it’s a popular spot for tourists to watch ships and boats navigate through the lock. Not knowing what to expect, we were pleased to see a large lake tanker in the lock when we arrived and a tug boat and small pleasure craft followed. It’s amazing to think that regardless of size, all ships/boats have to bypass the power dam using this one lock.
Lunch was a highlight. We met my cousin Dylan and hubby Calvin in Cornwall and had a fantastic (too short) visit over lunch. Hard to believe their two kids are both in university!
We arrived at the campground in Montreal in time for supper and another visit – this time with my colleague Eric. We hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so enjoyed catching up on each other’s news, including that he got married!!
