Day 6—Fri June 18
Cornwall to Montreal, QUE
75 miles
After our little trail ride, we gassed up the car and were soon on the 401. Got to Luke’s apartment around noon. Luke lives in a second-floor apartment in a cute tree-shaded street of row houses, the second floor apartments of which are accessed by spiral wrought-iron staircases.

| Suz and Luke near his apartment; Suz's wrist was injured on one of our training rides when she fell, so the two of us are the walking wounded |
We lugged our bikes and most of our bags up the stairs (very painful maneuver for me) and then took off the bike rack and left it in the back of the car. I reminded Suz to grab the GPS, but in the rush of things it was forgotten. We locked the bikes to the second-story railing and then had a great lunch of mushroom lasagna that Luke had prepared just for our arrival.

After lunch we went for a long walk to the Jean-Talon Open Air Market in Little Italy where all the produce and flowers dazzled the eyes. Suz bought two wedges of cheese. When she exited the store, she found that she’d been charged $80 rather than $19. It took a bit for the proprietor to straighten things out, but eventually he refunded her card $60 and we left the store . . . without the cheeses. Suz returned and the man gave her the cheeses and said, “All these mistakes and all on one person.” We wondered.
