Montreal sheds
... five days, one thing this trip has taught me already is how little I actually knew about the place.
In part this speaks to our accommodation and hosts. We stayed for the first days with Kevin and Samantha, a very lovely couple we found through Couchsurfing.org - a website I became aware of in 2006, but have used more and more over the past few years to the point where it's now indispensable for travel. Kevin is a ...
Ice Skating - Final Lesson
... pretty much over.
I got my camera and we got a nice group shot with my group and Guddis’s group together and the teachers.

Road Trippin'
... tired but managed to head out for more drinks. We went to a really cool bar and head quite a few beers. Eugene spotted out a Danish girl (Sidsel) that we met in LA.
