Travelog post for: Lemmy

Today is Canada Day, Canada's 141st birthday.

In celebration, Abby gave each one of us a little Canadian flag pin to wear for the day.



We all settled down to watch the Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa, the capital.

The Prime Minister being interviewed



The Governor General arriving with her Mountie Escort



The Royal Salute



Singing of the national anthem



The Snowbirds, which are part of the airforce and perform all over North America in air shows.



Blue Rodeo played a few songs.



Abby tried to take a patriotic shot of me with the flags in her front yard, but it wasn't windy enough.



Then we went to the local celebrations.  There was food, face painting, entertainment and many people promoting local business and events.







There was also a farmers' market, with a special sign just for today.



After that it was time to cool down with a smoothie.



Happy Canada Day!
