Matt's Big Trip: Montrèal

Back in Greece, I was working behind the bar in Athens one night when this massive group of French Canadian girls came through. Even though I was working, I had a great time with these girls and we ended up going out after my shift had finished. Unfortunately they all had to leave for the islands the next day so I ended up getting their facebook addresses so that I could catch up with them sometime again. This worked very nicely when we coincidently ran into eachother on Santorini and then once again on Lesvos where I met this fella called Nick who was also meeting up with them there. As Nick and I got along well there, he told me when I left that I could come stay with him in Montrèal if I was ever around that way. After I left Europe and was in NY I did just that.Nick was nice enough to offer me a bed in his house, where I've been staying for the last couple of nights. During the time I've been here I've met a whole bunch of his uni mates, been to my first College football game, watched my first ice hockee game on tv, walked around the city and picked up where we left off on the the dirty French lessons.

This was the college team of Nick's University (Dark Blue guys)

This is me watching the Quebec (French Canadian team) Vs. Tampa Bay (American team) Hockey game with a Bud and a shirt Nick gave me to represent the locals.

Yes my friends, that you see there is indeed a double Big Mac. A pounder.

Isn't it beautiful...

Despite all the fun we've had outdoors, the first exciting thing we did here in Montrèal was actually right here inside the house. When Nick picked me up from the Bus station, one of the first things he mentioned was that my head looked like a broom. So, in light of this brutal opinion and with the mention of how French Canadian girls like guys hair, we dropped my bags and plugged in the old sheers for my first haircut since Greece. As you can see, we had a bit of fun with it.
