can you hear the music of the night?

well i got to and i loved it.

jas and i joined kelly, rob, amy & clark for a fun evening on friday night.

we meet at juno the restaurant attached to the arctic club hotel. let me just say i would recommend juno to anyone who likes to try new things. the food was terrific and i loved the flavor combinations. rob and kelly ordered an assortment of appetizers for us to try. they were all really delicious even, much to my surprise, the duck rillette. my favorite was the beets! for the entree i had the carrot and chickpea socca which was so incredibly good.

after dinner we literally rushed to the paramont to see the phantom of the opera. i really enjoyed the musical. there were a few parts that i didn't love, and some spots seemed kind of long, but i still found it riveting. i truly love the music; it has captivated me since high school when i first heard it. poor jason did not enjoy it so much, not that he was expecting to.

after the show was done we headed to the arctic club where rob showed us around a bit. i can't even explain the beauty of the dome room. the ceiling was so incredible and intricately detailed. it was great having rob there to tell us little details about the building. one day jas and i will have to stay there just so i can look around some more.

last but not least we went back to juno for dessert...all i can say about that is wow you have got to try it!

the best part of the whole evening was actually the people. i had such a great time hanging out with everyone. i loved the easy camaraderie, the familiarity and the laughter. i can't wait until we can find time to do it again! (jas too, just without the phantom of the opera)
