Kamloops, BC

out after the show in Portland the first night

The last couple days have kind of flown by in a whirlwind- I had a BLAST in Portland doing the show twice as well as meeting up with my darlingest friends- Tim and Audrey. I was so appreciative that they made time for me, and we went out both nights and had a blast! They also came to see the show. It was our first time together since we left CLOC summerstock a year and a half ago. Portland is a really neat city, exactly as I imagined it. Very, very liberal, very wonderfully hippyish, with tons of stuff to do. The theatre was great there too.

Next we moved onto the Canadian border, where we stopped over in Abbotsfield,BC, a gorgeous, very rural town surrounded by mountains. So far in Canada I have eaten in one place- it's called the ABC diner. It's kind of like a Canadian Denny's but healthier food. They have amazing homemade soup and cornbread.

Today we went all the way to Kamloops, BC, Canada to perform, which was absolutely gorgeous as well. It is surrounded by mountains with snow all over the ground. I trudged down a couple kilometers down the mountain to find a Walmart, whethering snow and highways, where I bought peanut butter and bread, and picked out a Christmas present for a 16 girl on the giving tree there. This put me in the holiday spirit a little bit.

We performed in a hockey arena that had an ice rink underneath it covered up by our stage! It was really cool- at first it felt like I was Jessica Simpson or something about to give a live concert. We went up before the arena opened and bought nachos and soda from upstairs, as if we were at a sports game hahah! People sat in the boxes in the back moving around freely like sports game. Different, but cool, with a very appreciate crowd that gave everyone a standing ovation at the end.

I am really excited to travel to Vancouver tomorrow for two nights as I have heard it is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!

To close, I am closing a verse of Mary, Did You Know?

Mary, did you know

That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?

Did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?

And when you kiss your little boy

Youve kissed the face of god.....

interesting song to ponder

More to come!

Love,
