Oh wow, Whitehorse

On Friday night we went to a performance at the Yukon Arts Centre by a poet and an amazing musician. It's tough to describe how great of an experience it was, but I'm sure I will never forget it. It was even preceeded by a delicious meal at the Burnt Toast cafe on 2nd Ave, of calamari, tuna tartare, tomato and bocconcini salad and Thai salad, plus peanut butter pie. This is a must-go kind of place to eat in Whitehorse! Dad, get ready for the jambalaya when you visit in June.

The poetry by Zaccheus Jackon was incredible:

There is a great article in the Yukon News is an interesting read about CR Avery, which describes him as a rock n' roll beatbox poet-cum-singer: http://www.yukon-news.com/arts/27451/
I strongly recommend checking this site once in a while to see if he's performing where you are!



I just noticed the other day that we have been writing his blog for a year now, and had a bit of perspective on what life is like these days. The incredible beauty here continues to stun me, and looking around our place and seeing the dog harnesses and skis, the firefighting training manual, the yoga mat, the wild teas on our shelf, our warm clothes for the outdoors, all the new experiences stir up in me a real feeling of gratitude for the opportunities we have. What a dream come true this is.












Bye for now,
Love Lauren

    "One of the gladdest moments of human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of habit, the leaden weight of routine, the cloak of many cares and the slavery of home, man feels once more happy." -- Sir Richard Burton

    So glad it's is everything, and more!
