Can’t argue with that!
quite overcome with the protests. My walk led me on into what I might call a snooty area of town to the museum.
When I finally finished my Google pirouettes I found the museum but I am sad to say it was a disappointment. Only one room showed the artist’s actual works

On the way I treated myself to a Turkish lunch in one of the many ethnic restaurants of the centre of town
and I spent some time packing to be ready for my flight the next day.
The taxi driver who brought me to the airport certainly knew his business. I had a hard time deciding whether or not to close my eyes at some points!
Don’t ask me what it was. It tasted good and I could not face one more sandwich of Serano Ham. So Montreal here I come.
