I’d just checked into my hotel and had clambered into the elevator. The humidity of the city had hit me hard and I was already feeling slightly wilted and a little bit soggy. That’s when the lift dinged, signally a stop at the second floor. The doors opened and eight young and beautiful people squeezed into the already populated carriage. They were

OMG Dee!! When I was chased by zombies yesterday YOU were the first person I wanted to tell about it!!

[newmistakes]

Oooh nooo I didn't! I'll either be in Quebec or PEI, so will look out for it (but honestly haven't even turned on a TV in over a week, so might have to wait on that dammit).

Haha well it was kind of fun but I'm not sure it was the trip highlight - I just didn't expect to be going on a zombie apocalypse thing that day so it threw me, in a good way!

This is more humid than Brisvegas, I swear it. It was like 98% humidity yesterday!

Apparently Crazy Agnes is very very grumpy. Normally it's more my mother that gets her fangs and growls but I hear via email that my dad is getting his fair share too. My mother has threatened to have her put down. But luckily I foresaw some of this and made my dad swear before I left that he wouldn't allow Crazy Agnes to be euthanized unless it was for a health related reason, rather than a behavioural issue. So I'm not really too worried, and quite hopeful she might still be there when I get back :)

No I'm not. At the end of the day I'm just sooo tired that I can't be bothered writing it all down. I think holidays are meant to eventually meld into one big happy blur anyway, captured in photos you can't always remember from where haha :)

Thanks Dee! It's already starting to feel too quick for me!

Well my avatar is definitely appropriate for Montreal. I'm so happy your having a good time. It sounds wonderful. I wish I could see that Rodin exhibit. Well if you don't like humidity you may never want to visit Texas. "but it’s a dry heat", isn't that what they said in Aliens.

You're darn tooting right about that celty! I've inhaled more second hand smoke here in a few days than I have in all the decades combined back to the 80s!

Haha yes they do! But they also say "We're on the express elevator to hell, going down!" and that's an even better quote from it.

The Rodin exhibit was really good (although it doesn't compare to his museum in Paris, obviously).

[celtmanx]

I really like it that you can quote Aliens. I would love to see Rodin museum in Paris.

Quotes from movies form an integral part of my family dynamic - for instance, when it's close to dinner time at home my dad will quote Aliens with "Two minutes to minimum safe distance" and we'll head towards the table. We also often say "Game over man, game over" as well as "Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure". Of course, there's the OBVIOUS quote from Aliens too which gets incorporated into family discussions from time to time as well. Aliens is a classic.

That seagull wouldn't get OUT of the photos haha - I've got four different shots of it. My favourite is when he turned his bum to me.

It was a lot soggier/wetter than I'd anticipated. Even when not on the boat, just walking around the falls you get hit with spray. It was fun :)

Still impressed by your use of words.... : ) Interesting write up of a day in Montreal. : )

Haha thanks Andy!
