Putting the 'eh' in the UK

We celebrated Canada Day over a series of days here in London. It started off with a boat cruise on Sunday June 29th run as part of an event called HoserPalooza. We brought Kat along with use as an 'honorary Canuck' where she met a nice Canadian chap.

It was great to see people all decked out in the maple leaf (and yes, even hockey jerseys), and to hear familiar accents all around us! The boat had 2 huge flags waving out back, and fun CA tunes blaring from the speakers. I even had a chance to join a good ole' drinkin' game. The 2.5 hour boat cruise went so fast!
After that we went to a Canadian bar called the "Maple Leaf" where we had Sleeman on draft. That night we went to a bar in covent garden called "the Roadhouse" where some UK bands played cover tunes of Canadian songs. I went crazy when they played Spirit of the West. It was so wicked!

On July 1st, in the hottest day of the year in London (at 28C), a group of us went to Trafalgar square where we had nostalgic moments with canadian beers, jolly rancher candy and tim hortons coffee. The music was a little strange, but the crowd was civilised. We got so hungry and didn't want to wait in a huge line for bison burgers (the only food stand) that we ended up missing the canadian anthem finale at 10:15...boo! Ah well, it was a good time for all and the Canadian pride was great!! ;o)
