Thank you Holland for the beautiful tulips. After a rainy day, the tulips... it was also the last week-end for the festival.
THE SALUTE OF "21 GUNS"
In honor of the Queen's birthday, there is the 21-gun salute every Victoria Day, at noon, at the Parliament. I missed the ceremony, but I heard the 21-gun firing of cannons.
