We went to the Nova Scotia International Tattoo tonight. This is an annual event celebrating the Canadian Navy and other international military groups. This year was the 100th year of the Navy. It was AMAZING! The music consisted of vocal groups, bands with every instrument known to man, and BAGPIPES. I've never been a fan of the bagpipes! But after this experience, I'm a convert. About 150-200 bagpipers played, accompanied by drums ----- I could not stay still. It was the
most riveting, exciting sound I've ever heard.There were also Celtic dancers, gymnists and and other acrobatic acts. The patriotic enthusiasm of the Canadians is certainly moving. I almost wanted to apply for citizenship!
This is one of the Royal Canadian bands.
Here are some scenes around our camp ground at Peggy's Cove.
It was a small family owned cg and had all the charm in the world. We were parked right on the bay and could watch the tides come in and go out. There was a small fish and lobster business across the bay. More about this place on the a future posting.

Clara, we have been to Canada several times. We have never met any people who were so proud of their country as Canadians.
Continue enjoying your trip.
