It’s almost nighttime here at the Kinniwabi Pines restaurant somewhere off of Highway 17. We stopped to grab a bite to eat, and it wasn’t until I sat down that I noticed I didn’t have enough Canadian money left for a meal. :x

So I retreated to posterior of the facility to check out the view and once again I was astonished to find a beautiful river with steeped cliffs on either side. Being American, I never learned that much about Canada. I know it gets really cold here, and that you gave birth to a man named Wayne Gretzky. What I didn’t know was how beautiful the entire country is. I drag myself out of bed before 12pm as many days as I can to take in the natural beauty that surrounds me, and everyone in our crew is doing the same. We’ve taken hikes, gone fishing and early one morning Shaant even managed to snag a picture of a moose. It seems like in this country there is a true appreciation for nature and preserving it, and I can only hope we take a little bit of that home with us.

After we fill up here we continue on our 2 day journey across Canada to our last show in Montreal. We played the Bell Centre only 2 weeks ago, so it’s going to be comforting to end the tour in a familiar place. Last night we had a pre-end of tour shindig at Shannon’s in Winnipeg. The night definitely did not go as planned, but it was nice to finally get everyone on the tour in the same room to bid farewell…

For now it’s just us and the road. The drive is brutal but we’ll keep in touch. See you in a few days.
