Day 1

Finnaly after a long boring car ride we arrive in Montreal! When we first got in the city it was a little bit hard to find a hotel because it was 1am. Mostly everything was in french and my family is not good in french so we had to do alot of signals but everything worked out. The one thing I always wanted to do if I went to Montreal was to go to the La Ronde Amusement Park. This is a huge amusement park in Montreal. My family and I were going to it for the whole day I was so excited I was up at 8 in the morning wakeing everybody up to get ready. We got in the parking lot to the park at about 10am right when it was about to open. The tickets were suprisingly cheap at only $35 dollars to ride rides all day.(4) We rode alot of the little rides in the morning so my little sister didnt get bored. At about 1 my stomach really started to hurt, so my family and I all got supersized hotdogs. My sister only ate half so I thought, what a waste i will have it. However that was a very bad decision. Mintutes later me and my dad went on the biggest rollercoaster in the whole park. It had about 5 loops in it. As soon as we started going up the hill my stomach really hurt, i felt like a was going to puke. That was excactly what I did on the very first loop. As soon as we got upside down I couldnt hold it down anymore. I puked on everybody on the ride. They were all so pisssssed! After that we all went back to the hotel for the rest of the day. I felt so bad from being sick, and also from embarresment. I never wanted to go back there again. That was a bad day to start off in Montreal!

Day 2

On the second day in Montreal I really wanted to make it better than than the first day. The first day was very emmbaressing. On the second day my family and I went to the aqua dome.(5) The aqua dome is a huge indoor water park. Its one of the biggest in Canada. However once again my mom didnt want to go because she doesnt like to swim or have anything to do with water. It was very cheap to get in and the food was great. We got a huge pizza, fries and drink for $20 dollars. We basically stayed and played in the park until about 6pm. My skin was so wrinkled it was scary. I looked like a very old man, it was hilariuse. When we left the water park I lost the key to our locker so it took a while for us to get out of there. Once we did we went to a restraunt called Bar & Boeuf(6). It was a very special treat for us because it was very very exspensive. We all ordered steaks which were the best steaks I have ever had in my life. I would reccomend going there if you are in Montreal anytime. We went back to the hotel and watched Dumb and Dumber, funniest movie ever. That was pretty much it for Montreal, we were leaving bright and early in the morning. Over all Montreal was great, and hopefully Sudbury will be just as good!
