We attempted to get on down to the TamTam for the past three weekends.... but everytime we went, it rained, poured, and prevented us from getting there! This was the first weekend of sun and we took the time to have a lil picnic. For those of you who do not know what the TamTam is (I didnt:P) its a weekly gathering at a beautiful local park Mont Royal. Mont Royal is actually a small mountain - part of the Monteregian Hills The park located on its side was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Central Park and is really cool. However, what makes this gathering interesting are the events that occur there! in the main section, people bring on out their tam-tams, playing on these drums throughout the entire day. There's dancing everywhere and people just enjoying all of it!
"Hippie"-like groups exist throughout selling their tokens and enjoying the weather and ambiance. But, its really more than that. Montrealers that love being outdoors and love meeting and hanging out! Many people jsut come to enjoy the music and eat a little picnic, however there are a few other more interesting activities occurrring higher up on the hill including tight rope walking
In addition, how about seeing jazz performers?
And finally, for you World of Warcraft players or people loving dungeons and dragons - or for you that just saw the the movie Role Models..... there is a live sword fighting event where people get dressed up for battle!
People bring their dogs too, so we brought Murph. Murphey didn't find any puppy friends today, but I hope he does soon!
