I checked in, put my things in my room, my valuables in a locker and had a little nap. When I came to I saw a guy sitting on the bed opposite me. We introduced ourselves, he was Irish, he was about to head out for a walk, I asked if I could tag along and joined him. We went for a walk along the Rue StDenis then headed off towards the museum area. It was festival season here in Montreal, there must have been at least four festivals all going on at the same time, the main one visible was the 'just for laughs' festival which had a huge inflatable house for people to walk through, and a cannon, where at some points of the day some poor bastard would be fired out and hopefully survive.
