One post to Montreal... sorry im really lazy and Im sleepy at the Montreal airport waiting to my flight to go back to NYC.

So friday I woke up very earlier and packed and went to La Guardia get the flight to Montreal. Arriving in the city I took a bus to downtown and waited my friend arrive at his place. after some minutes his wife also arrived and we could have dinner all together in a nice place near Jeane Mance square.

After dinner I went with him to a street called Saint Laurent which is full of nice stores, trift stores and clubs and bars.

We chose get in Sala Rosa for Julie Diron gig which was very sweet and I could taste canadian beer! Saturday morning my friend took me to the Museum of Beaux-Arts and it was free and it was a huge and nice place. the collection is really great.

After it we met his wife and had lunch together then walked to the Old city till the docks and a small art gallery with a cool exhibition. After it a dinner in a pizza place back in Saint Laurent.

Sunday morning my friend took me to the Mont Royal mountain and we climbed it and wow the view on the top of it is amazing!! the way down back was an adventury in snow and mud parts I had my boots all wet and  freezing even it was very warm day 21 C!

The way back my friend from Ottawa called and he said he just arrived in the city so I met him and we both went to have a walk in Saint Laurent and streets near it to find a record store which we didnt... but I took many nice graffiti pics.
Since this friend never heard the world caipirinha when we were walking on Village I saw a Brazilian place and I made him try it  hehe. Way back to downtown and farewell montreal dinner with all my friends and Mia the cat.

Monday morning I woke up and had a walk at Saint dennis and then packed and here I'm in the airport waiting to go back to NYC

Boston 10th day March 15th

Woke up at 5:30 and got in the bus to Boston at 7am. from chinatown after 4 hours we arrived in Boston which looked very nice at 1st sight.

Went directly to the museums area and between 2 I chose Isabella Stweart onw... which is gorgeous an old palace she built full of art from the ground till the ceiling and a garden in the middle of the palace full of plants and arts.

After it we got subway back to the city center and had walk and lunch near Newbury st.

I was checking a store and then my friend said: it is 3:30pm!!! our bus was supposed to leave at 4pm!

then the film scene started.... running on the streets get the subway praying to arrive there before 4 pm. We still needed to get the tickets to NYC in the bus company thing.
In the subway a brazilian lady started talking to us, very nice from Espirito Santo... she lives in Boston for 10 years and will move back to Brazil soon. She even offered house to stay that night in Boston. But I needed to get in town to meet my other friend to a gig and my SP friend needed to get in nyc to get his plane to SP.

When the subway arrived another film scene... running and running and looking at the clock and we entered in the bus at 4:01. Bus was full so we had to sit separated from each other. I was trying to connect my phone with the bus wifi but no luck... so when we had a stop I stand and asked my friends phone to check my emails... and I think was this time when my nightmare started... prolly I dropped my phone and someone stole.

I wasnt there... in the bus, or in the seats, or anywhere... I know it was a phone but even tho. It had pics, my phone contacts... when we arrived i NYC and everybody left the bus I checked all the bus, all places and no phone...

The evening compensate it. I went to see Only Son gig in a bar with my ny friend and meet her others friends. after the gig I even won a cd from Jack's hands then we went to a bar near buy to eat and drink something. Then we left to a small club which was very nice but didnt stay long. I was tired and needed to wake up earlier the next day to go to Montreal

NYC 9th day March 14th

Went to find Samanta poster at "UPS" called them from a phone booth and gave the tracking number twice and the agent said: this is not a UPS number!! and I insisted cuz I had it in my email... but then after 2 calls I realized it was USPS, so I was retard but finally found her Nan Goldin poster in the post office near by where I'm staying.

In the afternoon I went downtown to check some stores and had lunch there. We went to my friends hotel so he could have a shower cuz we had a comedy show at night to go with my host ny friend.

Great dinner with everybody and had to run to the comedy show which surprised me a lot. Jack Dishel was doing this comedy show but it was very performer and different from stand up comedies. Which I really enjoyed. Met him and Regina Spektor at the end of the show too.

NYC 8th day March 13th

my SP friend came to have breakfast with us and then we ran to Central park, 1st stop was Alice statue that we climbed and it was fun, the park is beautiful, full of dogs, ppl jogging, some places to eat, the strawberry fields sign in, the building where Yoko Ono lives then we went to west and I saw a lil square which used to be called Needle Park back in past where you could buy some drugs, then riverside park and we had lunch in an organic bakery quite nice but I cant remember the name, hehe

then went downtown with my SP friend had a walk alone in some stores, of course I didnt buy anything since Im a "baby hands" for some stuff... hehe

Saw the ocupay thing and it is really small nowadays... which is a pity but they did do a great job!. then way back home stopped in a Barnes and Noble had a long walk and it is a nice store but looked like more a Fnac for my taste, I want to go to Stand tbh.

NYC 7th day March 12th

A friend from SP is here this week so he came to say hi to my NY friend and we went directly to Coney Island. a long trip but it was warm and I told him why I wanted to see that place: Patti Smith loved to go there with Robert Mapplethorpe...

Well we took great pictures, exchanged the cameras for some minutes and we could get pretty good pics from the boardwalk, ppl and it was funny see some funny characters, ppl playing handball against the walls.

Then we took the subway back to centre and then Brooklyn walked a lot there starving so we had a slice of pizza and a piece of a red velvet cake and a beer. Crossed back to Manhattan the bridge taking pics and enjoying the view.

When we got back in the city we had lunch in a place called Fetch, full of dogs pictures, very cozy even the food wasnt that good but of the decoration, hehe

NYC 6th day March 11th

Full day in Hudson started with blueberry pancakes and deviled eggs which i LOVED checking the river ad it was funny see a HUGE ship riding that small part of Hudson river, more trift stores, then went to a city next door to leave some stuf to my friend's daughter and met her family and hugged a beautiful cat hehe.

back home we rested a lil and we got back to NYC pretty late but again a nice road trip with nice chat and nice music and a beautiful moon following us.

NYC 5th day March 10th

Woke up and breakfast at home. Ran to Whitney museum check the bienale and it was amazing again. Saw every corner, every installation, piece hung on the wall. the day was pretty and we went to Hudson.

The road trip was great, one friend djing, other driving, great talk, great laughs.

The city is full of antique stores, you could spend a whole day checking it. We went to a thrift store and I bought a luggage I thought was a old one but then my friends they said it is not so old. but I wanted it to be a decoration in my place in SP which Im moving soon and also I needed a smaller luggage to go to Montreal ina  few days. So it serves for both.

We 3 had an amazing pizza at Baba Louis in the main street in Hudson then some groceries shopping, some more thrift stores and THEN we watched Withnail and I which was new for me and we laughed a lot and I fall in love for Withnail <3
