After a long car ride, we've finally arrived in beautiful Montreal, Quebec!
The weather is beautiful. The sun is shining. I can tell that I'm going to LOVE it here!
Over the next two days that we're spending in Montreal, I plan on going to many places.
Today I'm going to go to see Vivavoce; a Three Concert Series at the Redpath Hall
and also Tic Tac Tox at Environment Canada's Biosphere. Here are some pictures:

Hopefully seeing both these places/events will be worth while. I guess I'll just have to wait and find out. That's all for now. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as fun as today should be!
