July 13: Mannequin

HAMILTON, Ontario

I'd like to dedicate this post to another Julia, who lent me her eyes. Thanks, Jules!

1. James Street North Art Crawl. We meandered into galleries and studios, experiencing this type of vibe, meeting local artists like Melanie and discovering hidden spaces and treasures such as this beauty.

2. Fisherman's pier pub. Even though we decided not to stay, the waitress brought out Sour Apple shots, on the house.

3. My dream of ending a late night with live music in a Hamilton honky-tonk bar came true. Only my cowboy boots were missing.

There is no doubt about it. People in Hamilton are very nice.

The next art crawl is August 10, for all you Torontonians looking for something different.
