New York-Montreal Trek Ends with Great Day in Montreal

Our last day in Montreal was a lot of fun!  We biked to one of the islands, and visited a environmental museum called the Biosphere.  This museum had different exhibits on environmental aspects, and how human beings affected the earth. Buckminster Fuller was the scientist and architect who came up with the biosphere, and there was an exhibit on him too.  After this museum, our trekkers went to the Formula One race track, where we got to test out our speed.  There were many other cyclists there, dressed in full kits, with some souped up bicycles.
After that we went back to the hotel for lunch, and then to the Red Path Museum, the museum of McGill University.
In the late afternoon we relaxed from all the education heavy stuff with some soccer and Frisbee.  Then, since it was our last night in Montreal, we went out to a fancy Italian restaurant! Some of us stuck to the menu though and ordered things that even leader Andy hadn't heard of. 
Then we did some last minute trinket shopping and hurried to the bus station to catch a red-eye bus back to the good ol' Big Apple.
