Lonely Canada Day...

Today was Ryan and I's one year anniversary...and it broke my heart that we weren't able to spend it together. I spent most of my day sitting around feeling pitiful and teary-eyed. It's hard to be away from him, especially on such a special day, our day, a day for us...only we're miles apart and it's tearing my heart right in two. 

For the fireworks, I left Memere's at 8:30, alone...I hopped onto the 121 bus all the way to the metro, which is really only a short distance in the bus and only about 20 minutes or so on foot. Got to the metro, and started to get nervous, considering this was my first time taking the metro alone. I started second guessing myself when I got to the platform, even though there was no way for me to be at the wrong platform, I still asked someone if I was at the Orange Line. On the metro, things were okay, since I was at the start of the line, I was lucky and got to sit down for the whole way there. After about 15 minutes, maybe 20, we arrived at Place D'Armes, which is in the old Port of Montreal, what a beautiful area. Oh, and if you turn right when you get out of the metro, it's the Asian District!!

Uhm, I think this is called La Basilique de Notre-Dame
Very Pretty!

I walked down from the metro and down towards the festival grounds. There were so many people!

Tons! Some of every kind and from everywhere! I followed the crowd and they led me to the Science Center, which was just where I needed to be to see the fireworks. But I walked around since I had arrived a bit early. I could hear music but couldn't put my finger on who was singing until I heard one of her terrible songs. It was Lady Gaga on stage. Although I am not a fan, I stood on my tippy-toes and watched the concert as best as I could through the bushes. When I got tired of standing in the bushes crying and feeling sorry for myself, I made my way back to the Science Center, and placed myself where I thought would be best to view the fireworks. Eventually after about 20 minutes, I heard Lady Gaga say her goodbyes to Montreal, very shortly after in the distance the first fireworks could be seen. Unfortunately the spot I had chosen wasn't very good, so I moved in towards the crowd, which was starting to grow. The fireworks were very nice, although I cried through the whole show as I watched couples enjoy it, and wished it was Ryan and I. When they finished, I hurried back to the Metro and bought my ticket. The metro ride home was overly crowded, but not too unpleasant.
I walked from the metro back to Memere's hoping I was heading in the right direction, which I was, because about 20 minutes down the road, I found myself on Duguay street and in front of Memere's apartment building.

Anyways, that was my adventure...

Tomorrow is the big day.

I should probably get some sleep!

Good night everyone!
Love you baby, happy one year anniversary.

I know we're not together, but I thought about you all day, and kept you in my heart.

When I get home I will make it up to you and everything will be good.

I love you more than anything.
