Day 2-Day of Discovery

WHAT did I discover?  I discovered that on a long road trip, you have to make JUST as many pit stops to pee, as you did when you traveled with young children.

I discovered that I can't get away from semi-tropical storms.   We arrived in Beloeil just ahead of a huge thunderstorm, which was in fact a tornado that touched down in Lachute, two hours away.  There was debris everywhere, electrical wires down, flashing lights on Hydro Québec trucks seemingly at every turn, and roads closed. Our restaurant of choice had no power. So finding a place to have supper turned into an hour long adventure.

I discovered I can juggle TWO cell phones, and using Google Maps, be a really good navigator for
my driver Linda.

I discovered I was still terrified of cats, but that I could make myself a cat cage with the cushions off the sofa bed, to prevent Prout-Prout or Shadow, from jumping on me while I was sleeping. I also discovered that Linda never slept all night, and basically stayed awake keeping an eye on those two marauding felines.

I discovered THE perfect man for  my 83 year old, long widowed mother. He is a total charmer; he is Linda's uncle. ONLY problem? He lives in Montreal, DARN IT!!

I discovered that transport truck drivers, REALLY don't like it when you cut them off on the 401.  EVEN if you blow them a kiss, which I did, they still give you the FINGER, which he did to LINDA. :)
