We go on wacation long time

Well, it's been almost a month since our vacation, and I tried to post, but it froze whilst uploading pics and I gave up. We drove up to Rawdon, QC to the cottage for a week. We went into Montreal for an overnight at a hotel the day after we got there. The Just for Laughs comedy festival was going on, so we took in some of their attractions. Since we are cheap, we just went to the Street Arts Festival in the heart of Old Montreal. There were a few streets blocked off and they had a bunch of different street performers from around the world. One performer we particularly enjoyed was Alakazam from Australia. The start of his show included him squeezing his body through a tennis racquet.This guy was pretty funny too. He made a lot of fun of anyone who walked in late or walked through the show... This old couple, a man and a woman, walked in behind him during the show. He explained that they were his bikini girls and pointed them towards their dressing room. They were oblivious. Anyways, he was good. We also saw a guy playing buckets like a drumset and a bunch of artsy entertainment.


We took a couple walks through old Montreal, hitting all the shops and being amazed at the bi-lingual skills of the beggars, and the incredibly weak stories they all seemed to have. We ate dinner at the original Montreal Keg Steakhouse, mmmmmm... and we shopped in the biggest underground mall I've ever heard of.

On Tuesday, we went to the flea market in LaChute(or Marche au Puces en francais). We found some crap, but it was mostly a waste of energy. LaChute's market is pretty big, but we didn't find much of any use.

Dave and Kyla Cassidy came to visit us at the cottage later in the week. The were fresh off the tail end of their honeymoon. We went to Dorwin Falls in Rawdon and basked in nature... anyways, that was our vacation. Maybe next time I'll post earlier so I don't forget wha happen'd...

We returned home to find our pool full of algae and the ball hockey team forfeited for playoffs... gay... pure gay. Now I'm gonna get fat(ter) again. That's about it.
