Well, it's official, I'm dating Montreal again and today I had a wonderful date with my city. It was sunny and relatively warm, the perfect weather for a day at Mount Royal (the side in the plateau). Forest and I met some friends (
Mitali, Derek, Sonya and Leena Ruths) for a picnic, the tam-tam festival, a walk to Mile End, and some tightrope walking. I was able to cross three items off my bucket list as well as an item off of my ultimate bucket list.

| While we were eating lunch we saw a woman who was tightrope walking. It looked pretty sweet and extremely difficult. Being in an adventurous mood I decided to ask her if I could try. It was so hard but really fun. I kept wabbling but didn't fall over. |

| Every Sunday in the summer there is a tam tam festival at Mount Royal. It starts early in the morning with one tam tamer. As the day progresses more people come with their drums to join in. By the time we went over, there were hundreds of people in the park dancing, listening and drumming. It was pretty amazing. |
