July 4, 2008. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Tattoo.

Today we are going to attend the Royal Nova Scotia Tattoo, in Halifax. When we first told Andrew and Christina that we were attending the tattoo , they looked at us strangely, thinking that we were going to Halifax to get a tattoo, but corrected them by describing rhe event. We have been told that it is a spectacular piece of pageantry, of Scottish origin. This morning, we will drive to Halifax with Mary and Walt, our good friends, poke around Halifax this afternoon, then attend the Tattoo this evening. We will stay overnight in Halifax at the King Edward Hotel, at least I think it is the name, and return home tomorrow. I am sure that some notice will be made about July 4 Celebration of Independance Day in the USA, but if not, we will sing the national anthem all by ourselves. We look forward to a good time of music.

Once again, I am reminded that it is impossible to do everything. Privateers Day is going on in our little town of Liverpool, and we will miss almost the whole thing. But we will not miss the final event, which is the fire works on Sunday night. Also the Kings Orange Rangers have a mock battle on Sunday, so we will check it out too. Our friend Larry from Ottawa is in charge of the production part of the show at the main theater in Ottawa, and after last yearès Privateers weekend, I suggested that he might volunteer his expertise here. He reminded me that here at his home in Liverpool, he is on vacation!!.
