It's a Wrap

I've been home 4 days already. I think it's time to do the final "2007 Midwest Tour with Beth Amsel" wrap up. The tour has actually been re-christened "The 2007 Damn Run-Flat Tires are Expensive Tour".

So we had a lovely two days off in Iowa City where I visited a raptor center and nature preserve with a towheaded 3 year old who stole my heart. In the evenings we were treated to healthy and delicious meals (and one late night pizza) by our dear friends and we laughed until our faces ached.

We drove up to Chicago a day early and visited the remarkable Shedd Aquarium where we saw a baby beluga who was born just 8 weeks ago. The place is huge, but we managed to see it all. Though towards the end we got very tired and a skosh seasick and glossed over some exhibits - "Small fish, small fish, yada yada, - ooh poisonous frogs come look!" I've never been to Chicago before and our gracious hosts took us to two of the best breakfast joints I've ever visited and treated us to a crazy delicious stuffed pizza. Mmm. The company was great too.

The show in Chicago was sold out and the audience was fab. Finally it was onward to Indianapolis - my final show with Beth. My parents drove down from Detroit to see us and brought us a pre-show Cajun dinner.

Hm, I seem to have recapped our meals in more detail than our performances. Priorities people. Priorities.
