my trip, thus far...

so a few random things have happened so far on my trip...

1) we were on one of those moving sidewalks in the philly airport and this random guy (typical "photographer" ie. fancy camera, big plugs, thinks hes original) is walking in front of us and turns around and starts taking pictures of us, doesn't say a word just takes pictures. we loook at each other like ummm okk?

2) driving into canada the first things i see are walmart and home depot. disappointing.

3) montreal is great, the snow is cold but it seems so quaint, i like it. we've met a lot of Gians friends and oddly enough some of us have mutual friends, small world. really small world. we went to a show last night in the basement of some random building, it was the band f*cked up. yeah i don't curse, sorry. it was interesting. lots of crusty kids in montreal. 

4) we ate at this diner this morning for breakfast, i had a BLT -- not so good. and part of a grilled cheese, pretty decent. its no five guys grilled cheese though. but anyways, there is this canadian dish called poutine that they are obsessed with. its french fries, gravy, and cheese curds. i just don't know if i can get into it. i'll stick with my american cheese fries from ale house. mmmm! can't beat that!

5) we went into downtown montreal and did alittle shopping this afternoon, well we watched Gian shop. i fell in love with the boy in the Prada room. he was beautiful and awkward. i love it. haha


rachel and i are going to make dinner, i got my mom to facebook me some southern recipes. there is a grocery store really close so i think we are gonna cook tomorrow. i'm really looking forward to it! also my butt muscles are so sore. i can't even figure it out. i mean we have been walking a lot but i do walk a lot in general since i walk everywhere downtown when i'm working. hmmm who knows, well back to watching Gian play hockey on playstation or something. i've never watched this much hockey before in my life! minus mighty ducks. those movies own!
