Trip to Casa Loma to celebrate Thinking Day!
Lady Mary Pellatt was the first Chief Commissioner of Guiding, and she served for many years. We saw the main floor rooms (the great hall, the library, the piano room) and the beautiful suites, as well as the towers, the tunnels, the gardening room and the stables. Did you know that Casa Loma had 98 rooms? 46 bathrooms? 56 phones? It was the first private home to have an elevator and a built-in vacuum system. It had electric lights when most people were using candles or gas, and amazing wrap-around showers. We got a wonderful tour from Poppy and got Casa Loma Guiding Crests too!
Don't forget, tomorrow's meeting is at Cresthaven. See you there!
