Canada Day

Happy Belated Canada Day to all my fellow Canuck readers!

This year, July 1st also marked the day I wore shorts for the first time *collective audience gasp*.

I hated them just as much as I remember, from peeling my thighs off a bus seat to constantly pulling them down to cover that fabulous "under-butt" we all love so much.

Now that it is July, I fear I will have to succumb to wearing shorts again in the near future.  The countdown to pumpkin spice lattes is now on...

On a less melancholy note, Tristan and I had a relaxing Canada Day, we headed out for drinks and then downtown to catch a glimpse of the festivities before realizing we were too tired to sit around and wait for the fireworks.  Not to mention we hate crowds.

People were crowding the fireworks-watching area hours before they even began.  As modernly obscure as it may be, I quite like Vancouver's "Big Blue Drop".

The man behind a lot of my photos :D

The Olympic torch was lit last night!  Look at those beautiful stormy skies..

This is how my henna turned out and I absolutely love it!

Gelato down by the marina

Food carts and fairy lights..

I hope you all had a great holiday and to my American readers, your turn is coming!
