Okay, so I'm a few days late....it's the 4th now....so Happy 4th of July to all my American friends ;) But regardless, never too late to post some Canada Day photos! :) We had a really great day downtown, enjoying all the festivities! Luke and I went with Jordan and Katrina, and ended up spending pretty much the whole day down there. We walked around to all the different venues - hit up the Flavours of Canada section and ate some yummy gyros and hamburgers. We walked around the outdoor market and I got a great bag (which I have yet to take a photo of...I will though!) - it's made of jute and says "Republic of Vancouver Island" printed on it :) We lounged on the lawn of the legislature, people watching and taking in the sound checks of all the performers who were to perform later that night. Luke and I then went to Ebizo Sushi for some delicious sushi...oh man, SOOO good! We walked up and down Government St. and checked out Bastion Square, taking in all the crazy people and all the sights and sounds of Victoria on Canada Day :) We ended up meeting back up with Jordan and Katrina and heading over to the spot we always used to sit for the fireworks....right by the Delta Ocean Point hotel. It was sprinkling rain on us a little bit as we sat and drank our hot chocolate, but it wasn't too bad at all. The fireworks were great, as usual!
It's been awhile since I've gone downtown for Canada Day, but it was very much worth the drive! The energy and atmosphere was awesome, and there were moments throughout the day that made me extremely proud to be Canadian!! :)
True North, Strong & Free!!
