Once at the parade start site, we met the 4000 other participants from 19 countries, some dressed in crazy costumes!
Champagne bottles from the UK!

Grapes-complete with a bottle of wine, barely visible on the right.

Dragonflies.
Venetian paddlers.
We were led by a Chinese dragon. The energy was amazing. Fans along the parade route were cheering, clapping and encouraging us on. It was very emotional. Lots of flag waving, flags from around the world!
Once in the square, O Canada was played and we were united in song with our fellow Canadians. There were few dry eyes! This was definitely one of the most powerful moments in my life!
