Culture: 0, Tourism: 1

I am happy to report that we have arrived safely in Laval and all is well. I would have posted earlier, but Johnny spotted a cinepark on the way back from dinner and nearly bounced out of a moving car in his eagerness to catch a show. I had not been to a drive-in before; I cannot say much for the sound quality, but at least the seating is more comfortable than most theaters. We have already sat through 'Up', which is really a surprisingly good movie, and we are partway through 'Star Trek' which...well, there is a reason I am posting this now. Perhaps I would be more invested if I had ever watched the original. My navigator is still parked on the hood of my car, fascinated, but drooping slightly; if I am lucky, he will fall asleep before the film finishes and I can make good my escape. I may even make sure he is in the passenger seat first.

Tomorrow is Montreal and the old neighborhood. I have already promised to take Johnny to the bistro and I imagine I will be in for another lecture from certain people for vanishing for so long again.

Bonne nuit.
