I am sitting in a turquoise blue adirondack chair overlooking a grassy concert venue, listening to a free reggae concert in the sunshine as I type this on my iPad. What a great way to spend a day.
It is the 146th anniversary of Canada's independence and they know how to celebrate here. A parade (which we planned our day around only to discover the paper had printed the incorrect time and we missed it!), free concerts all day, a talented 12 year old girl singing the national anthem, a cake cutting ceremony with free cake for all, and fireworks to end the evening.
The rest of the group went on a walk/ hike this morning and had a great time. I opted out due to some back/ hip issues I am having. It freed up some time for me to call and Facetime with the family back home and across the country. I found a store with pants with long legs ( if you know me at all you'll know this is a constant quest for me) where I managed to do some damage to my credit card.
The rest of the group is back at the condo enjoying the air conditioning or a cigar while I sit here in the park. Time to go rejoin them for dinner before the big show tonight... I can hardly wait to see how Canada does fireworks!
