Visitors

Hey everyone, things been a little slow on here lately cause we have been way busy. We have now left toronto and are on our way back home! I am writing from Memphis, Tennessee, the south! But we will get to that later.

Before we left T.O we had a visit from some old friends, first of all Emma and Sean, and then a surprise appearance by poodle and mick!

We showed them all around Toronto, we went to high park.


And to our favourite bar, Sweaty Betty's.


That was a messy night alright! in fact they all were, we didn't actually see mick and poodle during daylight hours the whole time they were there.

We also went to see a band play at the famous horseshoe tavern! The band was Lucero and they were awesome!
The front man was a cool dude
So after a busy few days in Toronto we all packed up and headed to New York for a few days.

It was great weather when we were there so we hit central park.


Then we did as we knew best and hit some bars! The bars in America are fantastic and will be what I miss most of all.
This is my favourite place, in front of the jukebox. They have the best Jukeboxes here in the states.We also met up with another old friend and New York Local, Sarah T.
We had a good catch up before Pete whisked her away to Philly for the weekend. The drinks here are free poured, Sarahs drink is actually a bourbon and coke, but its pretty much just bourbon.
Needless to say the got the party started.



New York is the greatest and I can't wait to come back again! I'll catch up with the our journey to Tennessee soon.

Montreal

Hi everyone, Sarah here! Sorry it's been so long since our last post.

Last weekend we finally went up north to Montreal for the weekend. It's an awesome place but the weather wasn't quite so rad. We arrived to a miserable wet cold Saturday.

So the first day we didn't get up to much. Sunday it cleared up a little so we were able to go out and see the sights.

It is a very French city - their metro looks the same as the one in Paris!

We walked through the Old Port which was really pretty.

We stumbled across this xmas shop - it mustn't make much money this time of year but it was pretty all the same!

Then we went to the Notre Dame Basilica which was really impressive.

and it was even better on the inside! It was probably one of the top 3 churches we've ever seen I reckon. Way more impressive that we thought we'd find in a North American city that's for sure!

They had just finished there service when we got there.

The light was pretty bad so we struggled to get some good shots of it.

The stained glass windows were really beautiful.

This is the view standing outside the church - we tried to get the Quebec flag but it didn't really come out.

There is heaps of amazing graffiti in Montreal - I would even go as far to say that it's better than anywhere else we've been eg LA, NY, San Fran etc. Kim was loving it and we got lots and lots of photos (not shown here obviously)!

Then we enjoyed some of the local brews at a big pub in the St Laurent area.

This is our couchsurfer that we stayed with. For those of you who don't know what couchsurfing is, it's a website where you request to stay with people in any city in the world! It is completely safe and a great way to meet other travellers. Her name is Caitlyn and she was a great host!

I was still in my PJ's hence why I'm not in the photo!!!!

We loved Montreal and would've definitley gone there instead of Toronto if we spoke French fluently!
