Oh Canada!

i'm in a cafe in Canada at the moment. i've been in Montreal since yesterday, i really like it here. very cold though (like -7 kinda cold) and icy. there's some snow in the streets but it looks like it's been there for a few days. i slept for 13 hours last night in a huge hotel room. first double bed for the trip.

Leaving for Washington at 4pm on a bus, will be there around 6am tomorrow.

When we got off the bus to montreal it was 1am and we had to go through Canadian customs. that took almost an hour. and we had a crying baby & vomiting child on the bus with us! not cool. We arrived in Montreal at 5am and made our way to the hotel. we couldn't check in until midday.. we left our bags there and wandered around the city for 2 hrs, then went back to the hotel and waited in the foyer. we fell asleep there, apparently i was snoring pretty loud. i went up to the desk to see if we could check in yet, and the guy said "probably, let's see". thank God. we got into the room & fell asleep for 7 hours. walked around again for a few hours - there's a lot of things here to do with Simon.. like brekky this morning was in Cafe Chez Simon.

The core language here is French. oh how I wish I had listened to Miss Hole at school (french teacher). i'm trying to remember as much as i can. i've got 1-10 sorted, si vous plait/plais, and bonjour. i had a dream in french last night. it was weird.

gotta go, i'll write again soon.
