I totally wore myself out yesterday (Sunday), I caught a taxi to the Bio Dome, a nature walk around this dome with all these eco system environments. I took a few photos but the flash wasn’t allowed so they’re not very good ones. I also went up the Olympic Park Tower which gives an awesome view over Montreal, which is where all my scenic photos are taken from. I also went to the Insectarium, a museum of insects. This was inside the Botanic Gardens, so I did a huuuuuuuge walk around there. I then walked the 5km home (again, using the GPS!) and so in total I probably walked about another 20km on Sunday. I got home, and just fell asleep at 5pm, waking up at 10pm. This was bad, because then I had to just watch TV until I got tired enough to go back to sleep, resting up for the first day of the training course.
Today was the first day of the training course, the actual reason I’m in Montreal. It was quite fast paced and difficult to keep up, but I managed, and possibly better than most others based on what they’ve said. I’m heaps tired now, and looking forward to bed. My entire body is really sore from all the walking, and from the plane trip over. It was a really good thing to come over a couple nights before the night before, otherwise I wouldn’t have absorbed ANY information today!
It’s 10.30 Thurs night & I’ve just shown your blog to Nanna. You must have been busy the last couple days ‘cos there are no updates – or you’ve been walking more than almost any other tourist in Montreal. The carpenter is still working on the pergola but almost finished & looking good. Hope the seminars are interesting & somewhat understandable or that they hand out notes. Footy has finished for me – the Crows lost to West Coast by 10 points in a game we could easily have won, damn it! Keep taking the photos – great! Dad
Good to hear from you, hope the course is still being received. We are all well, have a day off tomorrow so shall do a few things in the garden as it is missing you. Mum.
Wow that’s a lotta walking, no wonder you’re feeling knackered!! (sounds like you need a massage) I am too, and I haven’t exactly been energetic today, just long hours at sportsmed and lots of standing up. I saw some cool things in theatre this morning though…
I liked all the animals, and the butterfly photo with the country names in french is cool too.

Anyway! Thanks for uploading the photos, what amazing views! I hope you didn’t get too ripped off
Glad to hear you’re keeping up with the course, I am sure you are learning heaps of things. Don’t worry you’ll build on your knowledge once you’re into the swing of it a bit more. (and if you get some rest
