How to do Montreal in a day

So we spent more like two days in Montreal, but the first day we just went to the botanic gardens, which was a massive disappointment. The sculpture gardens that I thought were there turned out to be in Ottawa, and it cost $20 entry fee! But we did manage to do almost everything that is listed as things to do in Montreal, in one day. You read that right... one day...

The only cool part of the botanic gardens

Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore


We spent a couple of days at Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore in Michigan, which ended up being a big disappointment. Partially because our kayak trip got stormed out, and partially because there's not much to do there.

South Dakota

After Yellowstone we stayed one night at the Walmart in Gillette, and scored a free shower at the city pool because it has free entry. We were pretty pleased with ourselves that day! We detoured a little to go to the "Devil's Tower", which is just a big rock. We didn't actually go in, since we could see the rock from the outside so it didn't seem worth the entry fee. Excuse the smudge on the photo below, I think it was a bug on the windscreen...
