A party to make Canada proud

This weekend I went to a birthday party for a Hungarian girl I know. It was hosted at the Garneau Pub. The employees had decorated the whole place, including the patio, with balloons and streamers. They had passed the hat and raised money for a camera, a camera case, and memory card. The birthday girl was visibly impressed. She's lived here only a year and must go home in only a few weeks. Everyone wanted her to enjoy her first ever "Canadian birthday" to the utmost.

It was quite the event. Such a warm evening and cold beer flowing liberally. I did not leave until 3 a.m.
