Workshop Tour Day 6: Marvellous Monday!
I knew that I was probably going to skip lunch, so I had a huge breakfast in the hotel restaurant this morning, including toutons, a NL specialty of pan fried dough smothered in molasses (I had a choice of having them deep fried, but opted for the healthier choice 🙂 – a far cry from my usual Vega smoothie). I then headed out in the drizzle for a 2.5-hour walk around Tanya Lake at the edge of town. Folks say it takes 30 minutes to walk the trail around it, but they obviously aren’t lugging a camera and tripod. Here’s why it took so long for me.
Association francophone du Labrador:
At the end of the trail, I was rushing to get back to the car, so that I could get to the Association francophone du Labrador by 11:30am. I had arranged to be there early to set up before the 9 participants arrived. As expected and hoped for, we had a lot of fun and the results were amazing, yet again. I am thoroughly impressed with the creative process I witnessed here. I witnessed courage, risk-taking, letting go, relaxing, confidence building, and a whole lot of colour. I even got a few ideas! I tell you, teachers learn as much from their students as students learn from teachers! I’m so glad I remembered to take pictures, as I no longer have Leslie with me. Enjoy!
The sun was bright at 4:30pm after class, so I drove above Labrador City for a while to get a better feel for the place. There are truly lakes all around! I thought about going hiking, but I was too tired and hungry and my sponge brushes were calling to be laid out to dry before tomorrow’s class. It was a nice drive and the light was gorgeous. What a marvelous Monday!
