Here a very sleepy girl will describe her great weekend in Toronto, by the hours.
Friday 1100
Left Lionel-Groulx metro station on a bus with 3 guys: Brad, Dan and Michael
1200 Arrived at the Montreal airport to pick up Brad's dad's car... and we were off!
1300 "No cars go" - Arcade fire singalongs
1400 Guys love videogames!
1500 Had a nap and woke up just in time to see us pass the "Oshawa" sign
1630 Arrived in Toronto, took the subway and decided I like Montreal much better
1700 Union station, grabbed a tea, waited for Julie's train to come in
1730 Found Julie, more public transit
1800 Found our hostel, found our private room with yes, only one double bed, thanks! Put on the classy outfits we had packed, but decided to skip the concert we were supposed to attend (at the Toronto Center for the Arts) to go out for dinner instead
1900 Tried on fedoras
2000 Tried to decide on a chinese restaurant... tried to decide on what to eat at the chinese restaurant
2100 Ate chinese food... delicious honey garlic pork ribs and spicy szechaun chicken with sides of rice. Mmmmm.
2200 Talked about anything and everything, especially boys. Took pictures of the city lights and the beautiful CN tower
2300 Returned to our hostel, the lobby filled with lots of Arabic men who like to stare
100 Fell asleep after a long chat
Saturday 800
Awoke to hear "IIIII CAAAAN'T help falling in LOOOOOVE with YOOOOOU." (Remember the Arabic men in the lobby?). Apparently they like to sing, very loudly, in the shower.
900 Prepared for the rainy day downtown TO, checked out of the hostel
1000 CN tower!
1100 Cabbing it to North York so we're not late for Julie's graduation ceremony
1200 Me, a peaceful lunch at Wendy's, watching tiny droplets of rain on the window.
1400 The ceremony begins! Beautiful graduates grace the aisles, gowned and ready to be hooded
1500 Julie gets her French horn performance, and piano teachers certificates, and a gold medal!
1600 Getting changed, not in the washroom, but in the fancy room where they keep the gowns
1700 Catching a tea and a frostie before our loooong ride home! Subway, back to Union.
1800 Subway... subway... subway... wow, we sure are far.
1830 Arriving just in time to board and be off back to Montreal!
1900 Too much chinese food!
2000 Are they gonna check our tickets yet?
Sudoku sudoku sudoku... cheating at sudoku
2100 Three dimensional Tic-Tac-Toe!
2200 Laughing way too much about my travel pillow and about the steward man. wuhquelchose? wuhwantsumthing? Got the giggles!
2300 Falling... falling... can't fall... Julie's still talking... falling asleep!
2400 Home sweet Montreal home. How I love thee.
100 A nice cup of sleepy tea and a nice warm bed. It feels good to be here again.
