Montreal Quebec

It was around 6:34pm when I enter Montreal Quebec to visit my uncle and cousins. I have to say, it is pretty cold over here, it is 34 degrees. Usually in Quebec the language that is mostly spoken is french. So, I had trouble trying to ask for directions. As I stop on a red light I checked on my map where the restaurant is located to meet my uncle and her wife. The name of the restaurant is Da Vinci Ristorante. He told me that it was a magnificent restaurant with excellent service. Only problem is, that it is very dark. Sunset occurs here around 4:16 pm.

As I kept reading the map, cars behind started honking. I wondered why and when I looked ahead I noticed that the light turned green. "Oops!" I yelled and accelerated. As I accelerated, I had no idea where I was going. I kept driving and driving and felt like I was driving in circles for some reason. Then I noticed  the same street light from earlier. "Wow" I told myself. I was lost. As the light turned red, I noticed a young women around her 20s and I decided to ask her for directions. I rolled down the window and yelled, "Bonjour!".(Bonjour was the only word I knew in french). She looked at me with a smile and said "hi, how may I help you." I guess she knew I was not from around here and figured out how horrible my french was. I was surprised she talked to me in English too.

I said, "yes, do u know where Da Vinci Ristorante is?". She replied, " why yes I do. I would give you the directions, but I doubt you will make it. If you would like I will go with you and show you the way." I was happy when I heard that, I thought I was not going to go to the restaurant in time. People in Montreal are very nice. As she entered the car she told me that her name was Myriam. When I greeted her she gave the first direction of to where to go. She told me to make a right and then to make a left. After I have done that she showed me where the restaurant was. I told her, "is this the restaurant? It was this close?" She started laughing and said, "yes it is". In my head I said, " no wonder she came along. It was not far from where I met her." As I thanked her I saw my uncle. He came up to me and said, "what took you so long?". I replied, " you do not want to know".
