Travelling is a time when I am very conscious of change, especially that rootless space between checking out of one hotel, and checking into another. This weeks photo challenge reminded me of a journey from Lake Placid in New York State, to Montreal Canada.
The journey began when I checked out of my hotel room, and waited in the lobby for my transport to the railway station. One last chance to enjoy the Mirror Lake out the windows of the foyer.
A mini bus drove me to the railway station at Westport.There were three of us, the driver, a passenger for New York, and me bound for Montreal.
The three of us waited for the southbound train to come through. The other passenger got on board, and the mini-bus driver picked up his next passengers, bound for Lake Placid.
Then there was one, waiting in Westport for the north bound train.
Once on the train, it was lakeside views for most of the journey north to the border.
Welcome to Canada!. The train stops here for a quick customs inspection in the middle of a field.
My first introduction to the condos of Canada.
As night falls, we enter Montreal.
So this is what Montreal looks like?
I never did find out why the keep the lights turned out at the Montreal railway terminal. They advised us to pack up our things before the train reached the platform, because it would be too dark to see when the lights went out in the carriage. It was weird and creepy.
Relief. Safely arrived at another hotel room.
