SUMMER OF '69 #BOTB RESULTS



WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the July 1st showdown.


This battle featured Albertans vs Californians

The title of this song resonates strongly, since my 'Summer of 69' was pretty epic:
- visited Berlin and London 
July - watched the first moon landing on TV
August - relocated from Germany to Canada
