Catch Up Part 2

After a great show at Jack River School in Norway House, we had time for a bit of sight seeing before leaving for Thompson.  We visited the Archway Warehouse (which is the oldest surviving Red River frame warehouse in Western Canada), as well as the Jail and Powder Magazine remains.

In Thompson we stayed at the Lakeview Inn and Suites. After half a week of motel stays we were ready for a hotel with a few amenities. Lakeview had laundry (essential for washing stinky costumes), continental breakfast (waffle bar anyone?!) wifi (most importantly!), plus a hot tub; which we aptly named the "Scald Tub", for it was almost too hot to sit in.

Thompson was a brief stopover on Wednesday before we packed up again and hit the road for Lynn Lake on Thursday morning.

2 Hours Later...

Lynn Lake is pretty much the farthest North that you can drive by road in Manitoba. The people were friendly and the kids at the West Lynn Heights School were incredible. We felt very welcome there. The kids loved the show and we had a lot of fun performing for them!

On Friday morning we were able to sleep in and take our time driving back to Thompson (we didn't have a show that day).

We were looking forward to our day off on Saturday.

Saturday was a low key day for us all. We ate breakfast together, did some laundry, went thrift shopping and stocked up on some essentials for our next week of the trip.

We left our mark on Thompson.

But the "Scald Tub" at the hotel left its mark on us (it had gotten significantly hotter since Wednesday night!!).

Can you see the line above Lisa's ankles? Ouch!

We're off to the infamous Gillam, MB tomorrow morning (shout out to Arne, our director!!) for a public performance in the afternoon (if only the performance was at 9:00am...).
