It came our way

Great show at The Civic Theatre in Newcastle on Saturday. 

It's wonderful to see some of the major shows are heading north to our regional city. I'll certainly be supporting the next two musicals that are coming our way later in the year

Thanks to my daughter for taking me to see "Come from Away", a simple but engaging show that doesn't rely on glitzy costumes or spectacular sets to tell a story. 

I first saw the show several years ago in London because I didn't think it would make its way to Australia. It did come downunder and has been a huge success.

I enjoyed it as much the second time around.

Canada Day

Back in 2007 we enjoyed two visits to Western Canada when our son was undertaking a fellowship in Calgary. We explored many areas in Alberta and British Columbia with he and his family. 

Canada Day, the 1st of July, found us at Rocky Mountain House at the end of a trip through Alberta.

We enjoyed celebrating with locals, learning about Canadian History, wearing our maple leaf tattoos. There weren't many options for food at the venue so we snacked on a picnic lunch of corn on the cob. 

Ici on parle français

We often spend a few days prior to sailing in a cruise's embarkation port. In walking around Montreal, a bilingual city, one is constantly reminded of its connection to France.

Witnesses

As we were wandering back from our restaurant we witnessed the arrest of a bank robber in Vancouver.

Photos are a bit fuzzy as we were quite nervous being so near the armed suspect.
