Montreal. My first out of the country experience! We were heading there for the graffiti event, Under Pressure. Sean, the boyfriend and his friends are artist. People from around the world come for this event. It so cool to see all this amazing art for the whole weekend! The main day of the event is Sunday, that's when Sean painted. We stayed in a hostel. I was so scared, but it was super nice and not like those ones you see in the movies. Thankfully we had 8 people so we didn't have to share it with strangers. We had bunk beds. I got the nice one in the corner on the bottom and Sean had the one right next to me. On Friday we left around 5:30 am. The trip up was really nice. We watched a movie on the laptop, Kevin drove the whole way so we got to see all the scenic stuff. We saw these foggy mountains, they were gorgeous! When we finally arrived in Montreal is was so busy! I personally hate cities, but at least we were going for a reason!
There is art everywhere. It's surreal. We walked around for the day looking at it all. We got to watch others paint around the whole city! Everything was in walking distance, so that was nice. Though there were a lot of homeless people and they were not afraid to come up to you and ask for money. It was kind of scary. I would never want to live there and have to walk alone around there. The park near the hostel was packed with homeless. It's like they all live there and a food donation truck come twice a week for them.
We went to a nice restaurant. Sean was excited for the gravy fries, haha! We saw live street performers... not going to lie, they were kind of odd. The didn't speak and at one point laid in a garden type sandbox. But farther down was a musician played a saxophone. He was really good.

The next day we walked around and did some sight seeing. They had these beautiful fountains! We saw this adorable dog playing in it and a few kids too. If we weren't going to an art museum after we so would have played in it! It was summer after all.
At night we went to bars, it was kind of fun. But some of the people we went with sucked. They just liked getting drunk each night. Like obnoxiously. So one night I stayed at the hostel by myself and watched Hunger Games. I really love that movies. I always am watching it. Okay tomorrow I'm posting the day of main event!
Love, Christina
