UBC, BC, Canada - 16th November 2008

I got to attend the Grande Finale concert of the CBC Radio Orchestra. It was the last remaining radio orchestra in North America, but due to budget cuts, the CBC cannot afford the one million dollars it takes to fund the orchestra each year. It's sad, because everyone was really talented and it was such a good concert.
The concert was held at the Chan Centre at the University of British Columbia. You can't tell, but the theatre is designed to look like a cello.
Abby snapped this photo of the stage at the beginning of intermission.

On a rare day of sunshine, Abby took me outside on the roof of her school in between two of her classes to see the mountains to the North. Her school is also on a mountain, so on a good day there's a really nice view. As you can see, a few of the mountains have alrady seen the first snow of the winter season.

There was a windstorm and Abby and her sister were afraid that the power was going to go out, so everyone turned off computers and tvs and moved into the kitchen. While Greedy ate all the pistachio pudding, everyone else played cribbage.

Today I saw an adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac at the Stanley Theatre in Vancouver.
Any photos inside were strictly prohibited, but there was some information on the theatre outside that you can read.

It snowed yesterday, so today Abby took me onto the roof of her school to look at the mountains. If I look a little blurry, that's because I was shivering. It was cold up there!
Look, the pond in the Academic Quadrangle is partially frozen!
Brr! Time to get inside.

This is the view down Abby's street. If it wasn't snowing you would see mountains in the distance. It snowed all day and it is supposed to snow two more times this week.

Things are nearly ready for Christmas at Abby's household; all we need now is Santa to come visit. Abby's family didn't have room for a real tree this year, but they had this nice toyvoyager-sized one!
Christmas isn't here yet, but it is back home, so Merry Christmas!

I also listened to the Queen's message at noon.
