Yay Christy! I made it to Boston today without any problems. Christy was one of the first and craziest couch surfers we ever had and she ended up returning multiple times and staying with us for months. Now she is letting me crash with her and her family for week or so before I head…

Montreal Street Art! There are some awesome murals in Montreal partly thanks to a yearly mural festival held in June. These are just a fraction of the great stuff mostly around the plateau and mile end, and there is tonnes more downtown and in some other suburbs of Montreal.

Today I was supposed to head into the countryside with two of Braes housemates to spend the night in Mont Tremblant but because of the long weekend the hire car prices skyrocketed, so we decided to just do a day trip tomorrow instead, which left today wide open. So Maria and I dusted off two bikes,…

I awoke from my garbage patch in Estelle’s blazingly bright sun room with a bottle cap stuck to my face. There was only one thing I could think of to cure the hangover that was sure to set in. My 4th greasy, cheese-curdy Poutine in the last 8 days. We intended to make it out…

Icicles everywhere! After last nights “Blizzard of flurries” I woke up to the sun shining and causing the snow from the night before to form icicles everywhere, but most notably on the bottom of the iconic Montreal staircases and under cars. The sun was out, but it was still bloody freezing. Brae somehow swindled another…

I have never felt so cold as I did today. I went to the Montreal Biodome (not the biosphere) where they have several artificial indoor habitats full of animals from around the world from the Amazon to the Arctic. I watched a bird trying to wash the poison off a poison frog for about 10…

Habitat 67, Montreal. This crazy apartment complex was designed by Israeli–Canadian architect Moshe Safdie for the 1967 World Exposition. Today it stands as Montreal’s and one of the worlds most bizarre pieces of architecture. Habitat 67 is easily viewable from the Old Port of Montreal across the river, but I wanted to get a closer look. It isn’t really…

Today I didn’t really explore Montreal, instead I geeked out and made a trip to the outer suburbs of Montreal to pick up myself a Leap Motion! I have been waiting to get my hands on one of these little babies for about 18 months since I first heard about it being developed. The leap…

Braeboy took me on a romantic walk around the snow covered Mount Royal Park where we spotted some Squirrels, two Racoons, two excitable puppies, a woodpecker and then built a snowman under a giant cross. Brae then bravely fought back this rabbit wolf with a stick. It was just like The Grey.
