I just got home from Canada, where I spent four days camping/coneing in Mont Tremblant and two days in Montreal at a surreal youth hostel. The canoeing was fantastic and I managed to navigate my English counterpart Gulia and myself down some rapids without flipping our canoe, although we came close.
Montreal is a beautiful and progressive city with friendly people. I wish I could have stayed longer. The hostel was very casual, it was difficult to leave because you had to find somebody to pay. It was set up as a regular apartment but with beds stuffed in every corner. At a bar I met two Quebecians who in broken English explained that Montreal, the art and culture haven of Canada, wasn't appreaciated enough by Americans or the rest of Canada. This is true!
Tomorrow I am off to Rome and as most of you could guess, I haven't packed.
Will hopefuly write from my apartment next! ciao

Let me explain the photos:

the view from one of our day hikes, the four of us in Montreal at the top of a park, and me in a canoe in the center of a giant lake.
