Smitten and her dance troupe were out and belly dancing as part of the entertainment and "festival" that surrounded the run. there were dancers, drummers, bands, food, and other stuff - across Canada they raised almost $27 million through the run (if that doesn't sound like much, remember - we only have 30 million people in Canada).
i played taxi for smitten - dropped her off because there was no parking nearby - by the time we got there (10 am) there were over 4500 vehicles there already - most of the cars with multiple people - this is in a city and region with only about a quarter of a million people - pretty good turnout.
i was general pack-boy, water bearer, and photographer. most of the pics were on other cameras, but i did manage to get a couple on my cell phone. i still hadn't figured out how to set the size of the picture properly on this day, so these pictures are enlarged from their original tiny size - that's why they are shitty.
it was a beautiful fall day. pretty cold in the morning though - i felt sorry for the dancers who had worn costumes with bare midriffs - they were cold...
in the top two pictures the colourful blobs in the front are the dance troupe. the other pictures are of runners crossing the finish line.

27 million, wow! That's good stuff there, Cad! Looks like a wonderful day!
I just hope they find a cure one day...I am just now finding out how tricky breast cancer can be, now that is has re-occurred with my mom for the 4th time. It's a nasty one.
Thanks for the post!
