Hey! I can't believe this is my last full day in Canada. It has been sooooo beautiful. For example, today we went to Peggy's Cove. It's a small little fishing village with a lighthouse and a rocky beach with boulders. I had fun climbing the boulders and watching the waves splash up on and against them. Towards the end Liya, Catherine C., Matt and I were standing on a boulder that was a good distance from the water. All of a sudden, a huge wave came up, and I could see big individual drops coming towards us. Catherine was in a good position to run away, so she did. The rest of us could only turn and try not to get hit as much. So my pants ended up getting wet and I had a few big drops on my shirt but it wasn't that bad. Then Cathrine laughed at us because she was dry and we were wet, so we chased after her to try to get her wet. It was a lot of fun.
We also went to see the biggest graveyard for the Titanic. It was weird to be there, but it was interesting too. There were 330 people buried there from the Titanic who were non-Catholic, non-Jewish, or unknown religions because the graveyards were separated by religions.
Yesterday we went on a boat ride. The theme was a pirate ship, which was neat. After a while though, it go cold, then India, Catherine, Liya, Kirill and I got blankets and huddled wrapped up in the blankets while sitting on the rail. We sat and talked and were isolated from the city because it was foggy out. I actually got to hear a fog horn.
Before we went on the boat ride we went to a fort. You'll never guess who we saw when we first walked in. We saw J.D. Washburn! It was crazy and totally random. So he ended up going on the tour with us and hung out with us until we had to go.
So, the tour's almost over, and it'll be sad to go, but I also can't wait to be home again. Ok, I think I've written enough, and Brianne has to type it all out of this because we don't have a chance to get on the computer anymore, so I'll end here. See you TOMORROW! I love you all!

Thanks to Hannah for keeping up with writing home every day. By the time the staff get finished with a day we are usually so tired we can't put a sentence together, so it's been nice for Hannah (and others) to write and keep folks at home posted on what we've been up to, and to assure you that we're having a great time.
We have had a wonderful, busy, exhausting, successful, and delightful tour. This tour team has been stellar musically, as people, and as travellers. I'm so glad to know these people, and I'm grateful to the families who have shared your kids with us!
