Updates of that Get Together, according to Rob

So as the week went by, I was feeling that lots of things should have been written on this blog, but since we were too busy to stay in front of a computer, nothing had been written, as "you" see. So first, last friday was quite a day, starting from this horrible 8 hours shift at work after a 4h night of sleep, terrible. I felt so bad about letting dear friend Edna on her own at the bus station because I had to work until couple of hours later. But then she text me that she got a drive to a bus partner's appartment. How relieving! Then I hurried after my shift done in the city to get to this appartment after this quick and confusing conversation on the phone. Oh was I happy to see how great she looked, because I was worried in a way that she might have looked weak after the kind of trip she had, you know. And after a couple of words, I was glad to see that we could still laugh for the same random things. Though I could tell about this afternoon we talk with that bus partner, I'll skip through it and leave it to Edna if she has any desire to write about her first impression of Montreal.. Anyways, even if I had to work for the week-end, we manage to chat quite a lot about anything, or everything! And as a first activity here, we got to, thanks to sister, play mini-POT, what an experience! I did made a fool of myself, but it was worth it. Not that good of an impression though with the pool bar, I guess I just wanted to actually do something, anything, for a sunday night, and that was the only thing I came up with. Then monday, my only full day off, we went kayaking around the Boucherville's Islands, so we could combined sport and nature. Tuesday was great too, we got to walk around the Plateau and the Quartier Latin to shop and wander. Then, as a typical tuesday, we went to the Foufs, so she could enjoy being 18 and legal! I must say my favorite part of that night must be when we got back to the car and she started speaking french, it was hilarious! Not that I'm making fun of her, not at all, but something in this was funny, maybe the alcohol, maybe her accent, who knows.... Then the next day, I showed her our "mountain" quite small I guess for her, it took us 30 minutes maybe to reach the top. Oh well at least she was impressed with the view. Thursday wasn't bad either, we met up again and shop a bit in town, then came back home for my sisters birthday dinner. Maybe I should have warn her more about the chances my family would be too lazy to speak english for her, I just hope she didn't take it personal.... :S. Then friday we got to fly to Halifax, but as we were about to leave for the airport, I checked my emails to see if our reservation at the hostel was confirmed, but instead they answered me to say there was no room available for tonight! What a great way to start a trip....NAWT! But I didn't have time to worry about that on the way, because we actually managed to miss our flight, well the traffic did. How bad didn't they want us to come! Well we still got to fly, but for 85$ more and arrived an hour later.
And here begins the "Halifax" part of the Get Together. And if you don't mind, I prefer to write it an other time, because first I'm still there, and second, I've been on the hostels computer for too long, I get dirty looks because of that. So I'll just write this oh so annoying expression: stay tuned..... :P
