Yesterday was the 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy and there is a Fleet Review in the harbour this week.  There are 24 Navy ships from all around the world in the harbour.  We went to the harbour yesterday because I wanted to see the fly past of all the jets, etc. but it was amazing to see all these boats too.  We saw the Queen's boat.  Nathan, for some reason, was desperate to see the Queen so I agreed to walk back to the car through where she was coming off the boat.  I'd warned him though that with thousands of people who'd queued for hours to see her, he almost certainly wouldn't.  Just as we walked past the bow of her boat though, she appeared and we got the best view of anyone there!  Tomorrow, I hope to go and tour around the USS Wasp which is the biggest boat there.
