Some Adventures...

It's been an interesting couple of days for the Chamber Singers. On Wednesday, April 20, we arrived in the afternoon at Fort William, outside of Thunder Bay, where we were given a tour of a re-creation fur trading post. Our guide transported us back to 1815, to a time where beavers were still worth something and gentlemen wore top hats. At the end of the tour our guide said we were the "liveliest group" he's had ... whether "lively" was code for something slightly less cordial is completely up to you, dear readers.

Our performance that night was another night of stirring music that ended with another standing ovation. (I hope we don't get these every night or our heads will be unrecognizably big by the time we get home!) In the morning we all discuss how wonderful our hosts were the night before. We all feel unbelievebly blessed by the wonderful people we are surrounded by!
