alexiscartwheelYesterday a group of us walked down the street to Mount Royal Park to check out the Sunday Tam-Tams. The Tam-Tams are a weekly event through the summer. An informal group of drummers plays through the afternoon, and lots of others come to dance along or to simply relax and enjoy. While we were there, several of the roomies got palm readings. I'm pretty skeptical about that type of thing, but I'll admit that it was highly entertaining.
Mount Royal was a great place for people watching. It's interesting to see families, university students, tourists, and flower children all enjoying the same event. But the most interesting spectacle we saw was the giant mock battle going on just up the hill. The warriors separated into two groups, lined up, then duked it out. Each "dead" warrior knelt down into the battle was finished, then they all came back to life to start all over again.
It was pretty strange and very funny, but it actually looked like they were having a really great time. Definitely not something you see every day!
Another fun thing about Montreal: you can get your groceries delivered. For a dollar! That's really exciting if you don't have a car because you're not limited to lightweight items. So now I have important things like Tide. And Snack-packs. Mmm... pudding. To top it all off, Provigo gives 10% off to students every Monday! I know what day I'll be doing all my grocery shopping from now on!
Except I actually do have to go back tomorrow. This evening when I was making my Kraft Dinner (a.k.a. Macaroni & Cheese in the US) I discovered that my milk was curdled. That was a) pretty annoying, and b) really disgusting 'cause I just ate that milk on my cereal this morning. Gross! When I go tomorrow to buy milk, I think I'll go ahead and carry it back myself.
