Yuma, Arizona

The park we’re in is full of Canadians. By my unscientific count, at least three-quarters  of the residents are Canucks.

While Canadians have been in every resort we’ve been to, this park has the highest percentage.

The Canadians are easy to spot. They smile a lot. Every sentence ends in “Eh?!” or “Ya?!” They drink a lot. And most cuss a lot. 🙂

If you tease a Canadian about saying “Eh?!”, they’ll come right back at you with, “Yep, and all you Americans say is “Huh?!”

Basically, Canucks are the people we love to be around because they are just so much fun!

I’m not sure what makes Canadians, by and large, so much happier than Americans. Is it their water? Or that they drink their alcohol like it’s their water? 🙂

Whatever the reason why, they just seem to have a joie de vivre that’s contagious.

They light up the resort streets every night regardless of the season.

Their signage politely asks others to behave…

They use humor to get their point across.

And they are respectful of both American and Canadian cultures and currency.

I will forever fondly remember one pickleball player shouting, “Ssssshhhhhiiiiitttttt, eh?” as he was running to get a ball I lobbed too far over his head to get to it in time.  🙂

I just love Canadians, eh!
