Well i just got back from my two and a half week choir tour. Man, it was a long haul. We started the tour in Medicine Hat, then went into saskachewan briefly. We then went through manitoba into the states where we went through North Dakota(I think)to Minnesota, then to wisconsin, then through Illinois to Indiana and then through Michigan up to canada again. We went around the toronto area for a while and then headed back west through manitoba and saskachewan. And now i am home(and i am very excited about that). I got to see some neat places and i got to spend a lot of time with sandra(since she is also in the choir) so it was all right. By far the best part of the trip was our day off in toronto. Sandra and I went around toronto with some of our friends and got to do all the sight seeing and touristy stuff. I took about 150-200 pictures in toronto(crazy). We saw the CN Tower, The ACC Center, Roger Center, and a bunch of other huge buildings and malls. But the ultimate thing to see was the Hockey Hall of Fame. WOW! It was amazing atleast a hundred or more of those pictures were from there. We got to spend about 1 1/2 to 2 hours looking at everything and we could have stayed longer but we didn't want to make the girls wait all day for us(they didn't come in with us). It was amazing though, i got to touch the stanley cup(well one of them) and see all the trophies and differents players jerseys and such. It was amazing. Here are some pictures of the time spent there.
Here is of Gordie Howe

And here I am alone with Stanley
All in all it was a great time. We finished off the tour in Lethbridge and Brett came down and video taped alot of the concert. I got the incredible pleasure of ending the concert with my favourite song ever, "Lord, Have Mercy". It was a song that brett sang when he was in choir and i absolutly fell in love with the song and i asked if i could sing it. it was an emotional experience for me but i managed to keep it under control until the last concert, and i still managed to keep it all together until i sang my last note, then i let the water works loose. it was very special for me to have brett there and to sing that song. All in all a good night. Well that's it for now. i'll blog some more pictures later.
