Thanks for the Party... Eh!

Happy birth­day Canada… from London!

That’s right: from France, we took the Eurostar (more on that later) and are now in Lon­don for a few days. And this after­noon, we stum­bled upon the Canada Day cel­e­bra­tions in Lon­don, in Trafal­gar Square — a huge (unex­pected) party!

We had a good laugh when we noticed there were even a Tim Hor­tons on-site for the occa­sion, as well as a pou­tine stall (£5 though!) and a bunch of Cana­dian flags. It felt like Par­lia­ment Hill, just nois­ier. For some rea­son, techno music was the music of choice — what, no Trag­i­cally Hip, the per­fect Cana­dian band? Oh right, they are in Ottawa, play­ing at the BluesFest.

You can fol­low our trip to the U.K here on Flickr: United King­dom.
