Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 1, 2023 #17551 Share Posted July 1, 2023 So yesterday I procrastinated by working on some River Cruising Sticky updates. Today I spent time in the garden, then rewarded myself with some Walker's shortbread Scotties and a G&T. I felt very British! [Note to self: schedule another trip to England and Scotland...] 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have time to try some of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted July 1, 2023 #17555 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada), formerly known as Dominion Day (French: Fête du Dominion), is the national day of Canada. A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North America Act, 1867, when the three separate colonies of the United Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into a single dominion within the British Empire called Canada. Originally called Dominion Day (French: Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the same year that the Canadian constitution was patriated by the Canada Act, 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Canada Day celebrations take place throughout the country, as well as in various locations around the world attended by Canadians living abroad. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted July 1, 2023 #17556 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Happy Canada Day, Mysty, and all the other lovely Canadian people we have met on cruises. Lola P.S. Do you have any special foodstuffs on this day - maybe poutine? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emtbsam Posted July 1, 2023 #17566 Share Posted July 1, 2023 JP We had an oxygenated room in Cusco and had no ill effects. It took a bit more energy to hike around, but I am sure you will be fine. Have a wonderful trip. Mysty Your patio looks lovely and inviting. Myster did a nice job. I hope the condo complex likes it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES!, Happy Canada Day. Remember this July 1 date very, very well as it is also my wife's birthday. On that date back a number of years ago, we were crossing from Glacier National Park on the way to Waterton Lakes National Park for staying at the super scenic Prince of Wales Hotel. We got a Canada pin from the bordering crossing officials that day. Cute! How can we now forget July 1 and its importance?? Also, last summer when we toured the Canada Maritimes for the first time, we learned about the details for how the "Canadian Confederation" came together and happened in that region. Fun, great history. Congratulations to Canada. Our big, BIG day, July 4th, is coming up on Tuesday. More fun in the USA. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Late Summer 2022, many scenic visuals and details from Canada Maritimes doing Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, etc., via a Tauck land tour.

Then Friday (a week from today) we fly back from Juliaca to Lima for the pre-party, then the party on Saturday, then fly home early Sunday (ugh). We just knew you two adventurers would get to the Rainbow Mountain at some time. I'm sure you will cope with the altitude. The Lake Chungara car park was just a bit above our limit at 4570 metres. We will look forward to see your photos. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed our trip out to a reed island when up at Lake Titicaca. I experienced altitude sickness in Cusco, my husband at Lake Titicaca. However, on my last trip to Cusco I was absolutely fine and also walked a great deal. Love the patio and screens. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato farls? Soda bread? Colcannon? Champ? Where I grew up in Belfast, food was only food if it was deep-fried and contained absolutely no nutritional benefit other than fats! Oh. Edit to add: Don't forget Mars Bar sandwiches or sugar sandwiches. Yum. Dentist's delight. Edited July 1, 2023 by Tothesunset 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
