We had the privilege of accompanying the Terre Hill Mennonite High School Gospel Team on their choir tour of Canada -- I mean, Ontario. (You see, once when we were crossing the border into Ontario, Jeff was handing our passports to the border crossing guy, and a piece of trash flew out when he did. Jeff felt bad, so he tried to open the door and get out of the car to pick up the trash. The border crossing guy did NOT like that. "Get back in the car, sir. Sir, get back in the car," he said loudly and firmly. Jeff replied, "Sorry, I dropped a piece of trash on Canada." So, when we were visiting with our Canadian friends and we told them that story, they told us, "That is SO American of you." [So we are indeed American, but they aren't Canadian?] "Americans always say they went to 'Canada.' " We have been asked by at least one dear Canadian friend -- "Do you say you are from 'America' or do you say that you are from Pennsylvania? " To which Jeff replied, "I think I would say I'm from America." And then they tell us to say that we went to "Ontario" or "Manitoba," but not "Canada." So, okay, we went to ONTARIO. Is that okay Kyle Gerber?) 
The three best parts about being in ONTARIO are as follows.
1. Singing with the Countryside Choir, directed by Rosemary Eberly Lebold
2. Seeing Niagara Falls half frozen
3. Eating maple sugar candies
I even bought some extra to share with my students.
Oh, Jeff says there are two more.
4. Canadians seem to have a healthy appreciation for classical choral music
5. And. . . they have a refreshing habit of providing vegetarian options at meals. Thank you. Thank you, Ontarians?
