#36: Hang out at Jean-Drapeau park

One of Montreal's best kept secrets, in my opinion, is Parc Jean-Drapeau. The park is comprised of two islands, where you can find an aquatic park, a beach, La Ronde (kind of like a Six Flags), the Montreal Casino (originally built for the Montreal Summer Olympics), the Biosphere (not to be confused with the Biodome), and tons of grassy areas. It's also the location of Piknik Electronik, a chill Sunday afternoon event that runs all summer long, where you can listen to a couple DJs, enjoy the outdoors, and have a beer with friends.

I had planned to stay for only a few hours, but ended up having such a nice afternoon that we extended our stay by an hour or two. Oops?

Given the heat we've had lately, I plan to go back and check out the beach soon too!

They were celebrating their ten year anniversary or something by asking people to wear these and say how long they'd been coming. I wrote, "today".

Grumman's is a local food truck that's made it onto all the big foodie shows for its famous tacos. When they show up to an event with their yellow truck, it sells out within hours. I made it before that!
