The Way We Get By

Montreal has a beautiful hill that is considered a mountain; the base of the mountain has a little statue and gathering area. Mont Royal is not too far from where I'm located and I love passing the green grass and pretty trees - when it stops raining I'll go for a little trek.

Yesterday the Tamtams were held at the base of the mountain. Grandpa Bain would love to be a part of this, I'm certain. On Sundays during the summer people gather together and have a drum circle, people sell jewelery, and everyone is welcome.


We passed through the art festival going on. They had blocked off a main street for street performers and sales. I went with a few of my buddies to Ben and Jerry's after - 3 scoops for $3!

I moved into my official room.

Can you see why I'd want to paint it? Pictured is my sweet $5 desk that I purchased from a dude around the corner.

And this is my awesome closet - you need a ladder to get to the higher rack of clothes.

I still need to find a bed. Hopefully someone on Craigslist will be able to deliver.

Later that night I went out with my roommates and their friends to a little bluegrass festival. You don't have to pay entry fees for the little venues in this city - magnificent.
