Behind a few weeks

I was very busy the last few weeks. Last weekend, we went to visit my parents. Then I was in Toronto for a conference. Then went back to work, had a board meeting, a Pre-cry rally and then yesterday the whole day was the CRY, which was amazing indeed. I just downloaded the pictures from the CRY but they don't really tell the story of the day.

Princess St. at 6am

 Queen St at 6:30am

 Fort Henry 7am

 My first job was parking. It was very wet and damp. My feet were soaked at this point. Everyone was really friendly and waved at me while they were parking. They didn't mind too much that they had to park on a mucky field.

 10am

 I moved on to ushering. This was very loosely organized but I helped out where I could.

 At 11:30 we took communion together with other communities in Ottawa, Montreal and I think one other location. We used cute communion cups that had a little wafer packaged on top.

 One of the Native leaders led a circle dance

 It was pretty rainy the whole time but noone seemed to mind. Then at 1pm I had to find the media booth. It was hard to find directions to the place. This picture I took from the front while people tried to figure it out.

 Then I spent 6.5 hours in the control room of the technical portion of the event. It was certainly a more challenging task! When I emerged, it was sunny! My feet were still soaked though.

Today my legs were sore, I had many blisters and bandages but it was all worth it!
