I made up for it though by walking for a lot of the afternoon! I took pictures of graffiti:
I love the graffiti here!! It's sooooo well done!!
I figure if it looks better than the wall it has only done it's job.
Soooooo yes I walked all the way down St. Laurant, a major street here, and it went all the way to the old town. Old Montreal is very pretty. Here is the Notro Dame something or other...
So I walked and walked. There are lots of cheesy Canada tourist shops in old town.. some really not fitting in with the architecture of the building...
I stopped by a little food place on the way back... going uphill was harder but still pleasant :) I arrived at the house and Tried to unlock my phone online. Tim gave me french tapes onto my ipod, and I half listened while I relaxed for the evening.

St Patty's Day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
At first I thought I'd slept through the parade - until I realized it wasn't until Sunday. I decided that it was time to do Laundry. I stopped by an art co op store on the way to enquire about yarn. It was cold - I wanted to knit a scarf hood combo contraption. She told me of a little place with cheap stuff :)
I listened to French for real at the Laundry place.
There weren't many people dressed in green. My green shirt was being washed. Ah well.
There was a little potluck at Tim's that evening (they all have school so on weeknights things are tame). Not many people brought food. My friend Amy from Vancouver has moved here, so she came out to visit!
It was awesome seeing someone I already knew! We got food, cooked it, had some gin... ended up meeting Pablo at a bar called "Foufounes Electriques". There is a giant spider above the entrance... it was very huge and very full.
I ended up there till close... there was a dance area and a stage which I was on for a period of time... I was also in a mini mosh pit... Walking home was a good thing, plus there was food on the way up as well :)
I think I did good for St. Patty's.
