I Love New York!

You know that song... " If I could walk 500 miles..." Well- I think I did this past weekend. My calves at least think I did. New York was fabulous. I could totally live in that city. It made me miss living in Toronto. ( Sigh) BUT....after being away for 10 days and living out of a suitcase- I was definitely ready to come home. ( didn’t expect the extreme heat, but that’s another story) Anyways- we did a carriage ride thru central park- ( to cut down on the walking time)

I saw 2 plays- the 25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee ( Funniest Musical ever) and The Producers ( also fabulous).

We also did the Sex and the City tour- in which a bus and tour guide takes you all around the city to different spots included in the show. We went to Miranda's Gym, Carrie's house, ate cupcakes in a well spotlighted park- way too much fun! We got to see even more of New York. I shopped way way too much. Actually I guess it wasn't that bad. I did good though- very good- I don't have plans to enter into any retail stores for awhile.

New York New York

I'm here in the Big Apple.... finally! The trip began in Washington DC.... where I was sent for 4 days of the Alberta at the Smithsonian festival.


It rained for 3 of those 4 days. And my luggage was missing for almost 2 of the 4 days. Life is great. Shopping when you have no clothes is also great. The ESO Chamber players did a fabulous job in all of their performances and did everyone proud.

Now I'm in NYC with Tami, Robin and Anna..... I got here yesterday morning and explored the city by myself... also tried to figure out the subway system. Didn't get lost once- yay me!

Today we took a ferry to Staten Island, walked around China Town and Canal street- walked up to Times Square, shopped shopped shopped.. ate.. shopped. After 12 hours of walking I'm exhausted. Oh and Happy Canada Day everyone! We wore Canada gear to commemorate the occasion and attracted quite a few fellow Canadians throughout the day- so that was fun. Tommorow we're doing the Sex and The City Tour, walking thru Central Park and seeing a play. I think after all the walking I've done this week- I've lost a good 10 pounds.
ok... thats it for now!

Long Weekend in the Mountains

Ahh… so nice to have a long weekend once in awhile. May long weekend has always been one of my favorites. It always seems to come around just when you need a break. ( its also usually my birthday weekend) This year, my best girlfriends took me on a mini-break weekend getaway to beautiful Jasper. We went to the hot springs, saw lots of wildlife, saw beautiful waterfalls, walked on a glacier ate way too much food and just relaxed. It was a fabulous weekend! Happy Birthday to Me!
