The Rest of This Week (Yes, our flight was delayed.)

Hello! Yes, it's me. This post is about the rest of the week!

Thursday

Thursday was really interesting because we got to go to the Canadian Museum of History, which was the best part of the day! At the museum, there was a Special Exhibit, and it was about Canada's history with HOCKEY! Yea, it does seem weird for someone who isn't fond of sports to write about one of Canada's greatest, but I'm gonna write about it. I have to say, the most amazing part of the exhibit was the hoarding wall. In 2011, a riot broke out in Vancouver after the Boston Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canuks. In the morning, after the protest, the fans cleared the streets and left apologetic messages, making the hoarding wall. Yes, the picture is really blurry, but I only took one and I feel bad because it's blurry.

After the exhibits, we had a wonderful pasta dinner at the museum. We had mini bread sticks, or un-long baguettes, penne pasta and tortellini, and 3 different sauces: Meat sauce, tomato sauce, and cream sauce. I had the cream sauce on the tortellini and it was delicious!

On the same day, we went to a beautiful symphony, Paris to Broadway. The tap dancing was my favorite, and they played wonderful songs from a long time ago (1900's). It was a late night that day, but we had to be up early for our flight...

Friday, flight day.

Woke up early, packed up the rest of my stuff and off to PHS we go!! Today we were flying home and seeing our family's.....or were we. Our flight was delayed because of the weather (we flew with West Jet) and we had quiet a few hours of leisure time. We went to another museum, the Canadian War museum, and to another mall. I had ice cream at that mall....again. I thought it was pretty cool that we got to experience another day-ish of Ottawa, and it was great to not be crammed up in a plane early in the morning. 

When we did get to the airport, we had some time to eat and relax a bit. I had bought maple syrup earlier this week, in Montreal, so I asked around if anyone wanted to have a maple syrup chugging contest. There was me, Shannara and Denver. Xaiea videoed the whole thing and we had a few spectators. It was fun, but I do think we were all jittery afterwards. When we were videoing this, I was being really weird (But when am I not), but enjoy the video, just like we enjoyed drinking Canadas famous sap.

I do believe that we were, and still are, super tired from this past week. It was fun to experience something new and I would, and will, do it again.

I do hope that we all enjoy our time sleeping and talking with our family's about our trip, cause we do have school on Monday.

Happy weekend

Ava.
