Hello everybody!
It has been a while since I have written. Whilst being in Quebec it has been a little bit difficult to have access to a computer all of the time. Helen has arrived. At the airport we waited for quite a while and I was a little worried we were not going to be at the same place at the same time. But it all worked out. There was a high school Rugby team from England that got off just before Helen. Jane Ann and I had a balloon for Helen that had a big smiley face on it. The rugby boys would walk over to wherever I stood to look at the balloon. It was somewhat disconcerting.
My play has only run once because the second night was cancelled due to the venue being double booked. I was super happy because that meant we could leave for Quebec earlier. Helen was extraordinarily generous with her rating of 5 out of 5. Many people had difficulty with their lines and were otherwise unprepared. I had fun doing it though. At the end of our first show I counted 12 people in the audience. That is less than makes up the cast. Oh well.
Quebec has been pretty cool. There are lots of interesting things to see. Quebec City is REALLY old and really small. It has many artsy/crafty shops. As soon as you walk into one of these shops the sales person will tell you that everything has been handcrafted by Quebec artists. It was quite French, but people were friendly and once they knew you only spoke English they were quite happy to talk to you in English. Quebec City was hilly and the roads were winding. You would walk around and them come out to another place that you completely did not expect. It was tricky to navigate.
Montreal is a big city. There are all sorts of things being constructed for the Comedy festival. I went for a walk yesterday and there is an Anarchists library. Pity all of the books are in French.
We are going to see a show tonight for the Comedy festival. I am hoping it will be great. Ummmm. Helen says hi. She misses Kenwick.
I look forward to the next installment of Tiffany Road.
