July 1st is Canada Day. Happy Canada Day!!
This is my first time in the country for the holiday ever. My wife’s first time in many years. We’re spending the day with my wife’s family and many more in a small rural village in northern Nova Scotia. Local events include dancing, concerts of local talent, mini-highland games, helicopter rides, and a parade. A little something for everyone hopefully.
Vacation is over as of this week. Reality is replacing the holiday feeling, bigtime. Culture shock is working its magic. 
To be more correct, this is reverse culture shock, since, at least for my wife, she’s returning “home.”
Hope all is well with you, wherever you are.

Happy Canada Day! Enjoy the festivities! And the local beverages
Alison just posted a great video from a Nova Scotian rapper, Classified, that is very appropriate for today, called “Oh… Canada”. http://cheeseweb.eu/2010/07/happy-canada-day/
