Canada Choir Tour, Day 7

Today was an awesome day! We began with our worship service, singing and praising God and mediating on the Psalms. We then headed out to a park in Montréal for some Ultimate Frisbee. It was good to run and be very, very active. Chelsie brought her violin and opened case and began playing. A couple dollars were tossed in the case, but when we were ready to leave, she had to return the money to the folks in our group who gave it!

We had lunch at a wonderful Jewish deli. It was awesome! Everyone really enjoyed the smoked meat sandwiches and fries.

We made our way over to the Norte Dame Basilique, where we visited Saturday night. On our way, we picked up an impromptu tour guide who helped us find our way through town to the Metro station. In thanks to his help, we sang a song in the middle of a market square for him and everyone around us. It feels like so long ago we toured through the Basilique watching the light show, but today, we were here to sing and share our gift of music. We watched a gospel choir perform and then sang our songs. Our young people sounded great! I got some video of the singing, so check out how awesome they sounded. We received a tour of the Basilique, including the "little chapel" with its huge bronze art behind the alter. And of course, we sang a song in there, too, just to see what it would sound like.

After dinner, Yves Fillon, one of our tour guide's friends, came and helped us understand Chocolate 101. Even though there is no bad chocolate, not all chocolate was created equal. That was a thoroughly enjoyable way to end our day!

I appreciate the folks who are following this blog. To show your support to the young people, would you please leave a brief comment? This can be as brief as saying, "Eh?" Thanks!
