Art's and Entertainment in Kansas city

Wow! for one thing

I cannot believe another week has come and gone...

Last week was a great week exploring
some of the Art's and Entertainment experiences in Kansas city.

Tuesday Nathan and I 

went to a Counting Crows concert at the local Starlight theatre.

It is a great outdoor venue!

So pretty, clean, and organized.

I don't think you could have a really bad seat... 

Last minute we bought the least expensive tickets we could

 and our seats were great!

Friday 

we joined the "First Friday's" Festivities 

in the Crossroads district, downtown KC.

Every first friday of the month

 local art galleries open their doors for the evening

Plus there is live music and entertainment throughout the streets.

The Streets were filled with people!

The crossroads is an old KC neighbourhood, 

Lots of industrial buildings now turned into fashionable lofts and gallery's.

Side note: 

There is SO much brick in downtown KC...

It ALWAYS makes me think the developers must have read

  'The Three Little Pigs'

(we are in tornado valley after all)

We will definitely be back next "first friday"

Since it was a long weekend in Canada

Many of our Canadian friends had visitors, 

so we enjoyed festive gatherings and ended our 

week-end adventures with a 

BBQ picnic in the park

Michelle, Devon, Nathan

Other than that...
Nathan has been busy with his clinical rotationsand

I have been organizing my/ our next adventures:

At the end of the month 

I am heading to the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon 

for orientation into their Nurse Practitioner program.

But the really exciting part is that

 on my way 

I am stopping to visit my friends Anne and Joel in Winnipeg!

And 

on my way back 

Nathan is meeting me in Denver, Colorado!

We are spending the long weekend in the Mountains!

I am also continuing to make very slow, painful, but steady progress on my paperwork 

to maybe, eventually, get a job in this country...

Slow and steady wins the race right?

All for now!
