A week in Ottawa

Ottawa is a BEAUTIFUL city! I wish we had had more than a week to spend there. It really feels like an old European city and is so clean!

The theatre facility was great! They even had a cafeteria in the building that was always open with delicious, low-priced food. But best of all, was the house curtain that we used for the show...

Yes - that IS a curtain made out of giant tassels.

One night on our way home we amused ourselves with all of the statues along the street.

It rained a lot while we were there, so Will wore a plastic bag on his head to stay dry.

The Prime Minister even came to see the show. He came backstage and took a picture.

Also, in Canada, they have the BEST frozen yogurt treat EVER - YOGEN FRUZ. They used to have one of these at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore and my family LOVED it. But then it closed about 10 years ago and we had never seen another one until last year in Toronto. And there was one in Ottawa too!

Basically, they take plain vanilla or chocolate frozen yogurt blocks (about the size of an ice cream sandwich) and put it in this mixer with whatever freshly frozen fruit you pick out, and it makes it that flavor. My favorite is vanilla frozen yogurt with pineapple! It tastes just like fresh pineapple!

The theatre had a "Greased Lightning" car in the lobby, but you weren't supposed to get in it. Kelly and I snuck in on the last night.

But the best part about Canada is, everyone in the crew has to wear a hard hat for load-ins and load-outs. They were not amused. (But I was!)
