Marijuana Parade

After we left the costume shop, we scoped out some local clothing stores that were a little overpriced (like most stuff in Canada).  

There was one store, called "Preloved," that constructed clothing from old t-shirts and other various materials.  After we visited this shop, we went to a restaurant called "Tomato" for lunch.  We ordered a three-cheese pizza and all had Stewart's sodas.  After lunch, we saw what we thought was a protest rally to re-legalize marijuana.  Apparently, Montreal recently criminalized marijuana, and there was supposed to be a big protest on Saturday.  We walked down to the rally, and it turned out to be a May Day parade instead.  We were a little disappointed, but Lauren knew just what would lift our spirits - CUPCAKES!

We went to a cupcake restaurant that Lauren recommended, and we all got different types of cupcakes.  Lindsey got a vanilla one, Nicole got a lemon one, and I got a chocolate chai one.  After we left the cupcake shop, Lauren explained how we should get back to our hotel by the #80 bus.  We crossed the street and climbed on board...

This was a Nautical shop across the street from "Tomato."
