Sunday- Convention begins

Lovely hot morning as we made our way by coach from our hotel to the Palais de Congress for the inter faith service where DG1030 Martin gave a reading.
Then it was lunch in the House of Friendship and then to the Bell Center for the openning ceremony.

RI President opened the event with the flag ceremony. This was followed by various ethic dancing and the usual parade of Past Presidents. The highlight was the hour long performance by Celtic Thunder.
After we met with Brian, Greg and Peter plus ladies for dinner. Burger and chips $25!
