Now with a home in Montréal.. but no Internet

Thursday afternoon - no reservation at a hostel for the weekend. Not much money. In need of a plan. Kat ponders many options such as going to Mont-Tremblant (expensive), getting a ride to Trois-Rivieres or somewhere in the vicinity with Allo-Stop (but how to get where I actually want to go from there?), going to Ottawa (to do what/see who?), going to Toronto to see Mikee (but buses/trains are expensive!). Ponders.

Friday morning, 10AM - a new posting on the Montréal craigslist rideshare page. Someone is going to Toronto at 11AM. Kat calls and arranges a ride at a good price. Hopes the driver does not turn out to be crazy. 11AM - Arian and his other passenger arrive and both are exceptionally kind and friendly. A comfortable and enjoyable ride to Montréal and a semi-successful attempt to solve a Rubic`s cube ensues.

Saturday and Sunday - Kat enjoys a couple of days in Toronto involving tasty cooking, BBQing, waffles, seeing Mike Wu, witnessing some crazy sketch-inspired improv piano, a drumming circle, MarioKart, board games and more. Sunday night a ride back to Montréal with Arian again and finally moving into a new home in Montréal.

Today - cleaning, buying supplies, wandering the city, relaxing.

Tomorrow - a first day of work at MEC Montréal (training in tents and sleeping bags!).

Sounds like quite the adventure! So, when and how did you learn French?
