July 19-23

I haven't officially written a bucket list [yet], but since last Thursday [two Thursdays ago, the 19th, I know, I am a terrible blogger] I have crossed a few things off it. [Come to think of it I have crossed a lot off this hypothetical bucket list since moving to Montreal. Maybe I should actually write up a bucket list.]

I guess I could start this with last Thursday [19th]. My sister drove up from NB, Montreal was a pit stop for her on her way to a wedding in Ottawa [I was attending it with her]. This was the first time I have seen a member of my immediate family since I moved here in December [that's 7 months people, but it doesn't seem that long! :s], also it was the first time someone has come to visit and spend the night.

Biodome, Olympic Stadium and downtown!

Today I had a full day, I left home around 11. I wanted to miss the lunch rush on the Metro, and I succeeded! I'm not sure how long the trip was, but it didn't seem THAT long. I got off at Viau Station, which was right next to the Biodome! The Biodome was cool. I wish I had my camera but all the more reason to go back. After the Biodome, I went up the Olympic Tower, the view was great but the snowflakes got in the way. When I came down from the tower I took a tour of the Olympic Stadium. It was a private tour, because there was no one else there for the tour. haha My tour guide happened to be a Montrealer so after the tour, he told me places I should go and places I should not go. It was great because I really didn't know where or what I should see in the city. I needed that because I didn't really have a plan before. I just had a few things I wanted to see and he told me about other things to do. He also told me not to be afraid of the downtown so after I left the Big O, I got off the Metro downtown and just walked around. It was game day, but I don't think I was there late enough to fully enjoy the excitement. I did however, experience the packed Metro at 5 o'clock, it wasn't too bad though.
