Our day got off to a leisurely start, consistent with our more relaxed Antigonish pace.
Boarding the bus at 10:30 a.m., we began the 2 1/2 hour ride to Halifax, our final destination on this amazing tour.
Arriving at The Best Western Plus, our home away from home for the next three nights, we were delighted to discover that our rooms were ready, and we could check in and relax for a couple of hours, taking in the beautiful ambiance of Chocolate Lake, on which the hotel is situated.
And for all the pet lovers missing their four footed family members, Aero, the hotel chocolate lab, has definitely filled the void.
Continuing our established pattern, we were all on time for the 4 o’clock departure to the Royal Legion in Dartmouth. And after a ham dinner which included raisin sauce (a Navy tradition), the men began their final performance for this tour.
And with the casual atmosphere of the Legion, tour uniforms were more in order, much to the guys’ delight. It goes without saying that the singing was excellent again, with many Legion members joining in.
Natalie surprised everyone by adding Calendar Girl to an already great repertoire. The guys loved it.
And now, with their formal obligations completed, just the fun remains.
Karl Euler adds: Natalie may have pulled a fast one on us with ‘Calendar Girl', but she got her own back when Carlo announced that tomorrow is her birthday, and the entire Chorus and audience sang ‘Happy Birthday’. Wow, can she ever blush well!
