Poutine our last days in Montreal to good use

¡Hola mes amis! 

We woke up bright and early for one of our last days here in Montreal and hit the town right away #nomapneeded. We bought transit passes (#locals) and took the metro to McGill, which we had already seen, but wanted to go back and explore in more detail. We took pictures, found the engineering building and the med school, and basically just pretended to be college students again #gonnamissthat

After McGill, we headed back to Old Montreal and Old Port (some of our favorite areas of the city) for more city exploring and typical local Canadian things #hiphiphoor-eh?! We are just so proud of how easily we have adapted to this city and fit in perfectly #goAmericans.

Don't we just fit right in?? #Canadianselfie

We meandered our way into a creperie where we met the most delightful owner who happened to also be a Packer fan #goPackgo. We chatted with him for quite some time-- he was a total gem. We then stuffed our faces with delicious crepes and had minimal conversation. 

In the evening, we headed back downtown to check out the Francofolies music festival, an annual event featuring Canadia's best French music artists. The first act was a chick who looked a bit like Ke$ha but could actually sing and with songs kinda deep like Adele but hell if we know, it was all in French. We also learned that the watermelon trick doesn't really work with French music. It was clear we didn't know any of the words... No matter, we got beer and enjoyed the (finally!) nice weather. #notSummerFestbuttheytried

Quite the crowd #mostlycouples #wefitrightin #ellen&portia

We went straight from the festival to meet up with my friends, Danna and Chloe, from study abroad who were both really excited to take us out for what they had proclaimed the best poutine in Montreal. For those of you unaware, Poutine is a fat girl's dream- fries + cheese curds + gravy + additional meat toppings or side options such as guacamole or just more cheese. Below is a picture of what the 'small' looks like. We were not expecting the Canadians to show us up with greasier food, otherwise, we would have probably trained more in preparation.

Post-poutine, we mingled with some of our friends' friends and experienced a bit of the Montreal bar scene #seen-one-seen-them-all
