Peace Gardens

Turtle Mtn July Longweekend 2007 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

We drove over to the Internationlal Peace Gardens on Canada Day looking for fireworks. We found out they weren't having them, in typically Canadian fashion, they were "saving them" for the ann of the park in a few weeks!  I can't imagine the 4th of July not being celebrated with fireworks on the US side, they'd find a way to pay for both events! Oh well thats the difference between us and them.

The park was eerily void of people, we stopped at the 9/11 display, remnants of the trade towers on display. The Peace Towers of the park strike a similar pose. They straddle the US-Can border which could be seen for miles, the line cut through the forests.
