last night I had dinner with a trio of special women, two of whom I just met, lol…

I had soup and five mini crab cakes with roasted garlic mayo, apple salad and mixed greens… very tasty… everyone else had scallops…

after a relaxing meal we travelled to the Cirque du Soleil tent on Kenaston to see Amaluna…

it was excellent… I’m always amazed at the flexibility of the performers and what they can make their bodies do… it was also fun to see a performance under the big top, which reminded me again of my first time at Cirque du Soleil in Montreal many years ago;-)…

a wonderful treat…

last week I won two tickets from the CTV Morning show to see Cirque du Soleil Crystal…

was very excited as I don’t often win things… picked them up and then checked to see if my daughter would like to go with me…

today we met for lunch at Brown’s Social House before the performance…

she ordered their corned beef hash… our neighbour, Buzz, made the world’s best hash and she has tried it many places but never found one as good as what he made… she’s pretty much given up trying but thought she’d give it one last shot…

we also talked about how Ellen, his wife, made the best Kraft Dinner… when I would make it they would always comment it was not as good as Auntie Ellen’s, lol…

the hash wasn’t bad, but not up to the Buzz standard…

we walked back to the car to leave the second half of my fish and chips before heading into BellMTS Place… had to save room for popcorn during the show…

loved the trees in the opening sequence…

it was interesting to watch the ushers ensure that no one was taking videos during the performance…

vacation day two…

up early and packed a bag for Montreal… took the bus to the train, and had a lovely two hour train ride where we saw lots of Canada Geese and a huge flock of Snow Geese… there were lots of horses too…

20140426-195235.jpgwe had handmade macaroons for a snack and did some playing on the iPad…

20140426-195804.jpggot off the train and walked right into our hotel… nice room… headed down to the restaurant and had a wonderful lunch…

as there is a mall right below the hotel, we took a little wander and picked up a couple of things… including some wine, Brie and a fresh baguette… for a snack later…

dressed and took a taxi to Cirque du Soleil to see Kurios, their newest show… it was spectacular and we enjoyed every moment…

back to the hotel for our snack and a quiet time before heading out for dinner at Au Pied de Cochon…

20140426-232226.jpgall dressed up…

the place was hopping… great dinner… shared cucumber and crab salad, duck carpaccio and fois gras… Ron had a big piece of pork…

what a full day and we all have full bellies…

a few weeks ago I booked a flight to visit Cyndi and Ron in Ottawa… will be going toward the end of April so it is a ways off…

will only be there for about five days and am looking forward to seeing where the kids live and what is around them…

the newest Cirque du Soleil show is starting around the time I am there so we booked tickets to see it… we have now organized a train trip to Montreal and a bus trip back so that we can do everything in one day…

Kurios from Cirque du Soleil website…

today I spent quite a bit of time online trying to find a great restaurant to have lunch at while we are there… hard to do when you don’t know the place…

sent a list off to Cyndi with a bunch of ideas and hope that she can pick one or two for us to make a final choice, depending on their proximity to the train and Cirque du Soleil…

looks like there are lots to choose from…a couple looked quite interesting: Kazu, Le Petit Opus, Maison Boulud, Toqué… some of the ones that looked good weren’t open on the weekend so that helped shorten the list…

kind of made me hungry, lol…
