Rolling Out the Red Carpet

In celebration of Nuit Blanche, the Montreal Biodome decided to Roll out the Red Carpet for the Penguins. For the first time ever, a few of the more socialised ones were selected to leave their habitat and head outdoors. Despite the hundreds of people eager to get a look, I made my way to the front and had the pleasure of watching these adorable little guys. At first they were a bit shy and kept in close to the trainer.



But it didn't take long before they warmed up to the crowd and decided to walk around exploring the new scenery.


It was really cold out last night and I almost didn't go. But I am so glad that I did...


Nuit Blanche is one of the wildest nights of the year in Montreal - a night filled with cultural, musical and culinary activities (mostly free) throughout the city from 6pm-6am. If you have not yet experienced it, I highly recommend making sure you do!
