Northern Ontario, you warmed our hearts!

Nothing but positive feedback to give about our last week in Northern Ontario! Sudbury, North Bay and Sault Ste-Marie were gems! We were all very surprised by the level of French of these schools, they rocked it! It's heart warming to see all of these kids learning French and I hope that our show makes them proud to be able to speak two languages. Northern Ontario has an amazing French community! So beautiful and impressive to see!

This past week was a great experience! Although we probably spent more time traveling than anything else and that by the time we got back to Toronto, we wanted to cry at the thought of eating fast food (eating out in restaurants gets old...very fast!), we've had a blast! Trying to find the Big Nickel in Sudbury was surprisingly hard, but it was definitely worth it. LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT CURRENCY!

We've had a great time meeting the students in the workshop, and I must say this week we've had very diverse groups, but almost every time during the workshop me and Justine would look at each other for a moment to share how impressed we were with these kids. We've encountered phenomenal dancers (especially at Chippewa ISS in North Bay-WOW!) and we were surprised by how much the kids knew the answers during the game show.

Thursday was a big day! Not only was it Justine's birthday, but we also had two shows in Sault Ste-Marie. Our first show went marvelously! Can't say the same for the second one, as we had technical problems one after the other. We almost had to do the show without the projection (which would take a lot away from the show because the show is very visual). But luckily we figured it out and the show went on normally! Oufffff! Things are always interesting to say the least! 

I must say, I really felt the "life on the road" sha-bang this week. Trying to keep a normal routine and eat healthy (Ok I have been talking a lot about the food, but it's really affecting us!!). We've even decided to use the hotel fitness center (oh yeah!) but imagine our disappointment when we got to the Sault and it was closed for renovation. Luckily the hotel front desk lady said she had our back, and that if anyone asked, she recalls "seeing" us on the treadmills. Thanks lady, but it's not making up for the five burgers I've eaten this week. 

5 things we've learned this week:

1- Tim Horton is literally EVERYWHERE.

2-The Franco-Ontarian flag was invented in Sudbury!!! Who knew??

3- I look like a High School Student. 

4- There is such a thing as too much fast food (Tim Horton is an exception)

5- Snapchat CAN keep you very entertained for long drives, and Justine is Queen at it. 

Tonight we are leaving for Lindsay for our 14th show tomorrow! So excited to meet the students and keep the tour rollin'! Till then, have a good one Ontario! Heads up for Bracebridge, Burks Falls and Parry Sound!
