Threatening skies this morning (am I getting repetitious?) but the rain held off. We had a nice run down to the Ottawa River and along it to Anprior.
Gerry spoke to a couple of cyclists, one of whom (Dorothy) suggested we follow her back to her house because her husband could direct us on a nice bicycle route into Ottawa.
We did that and met Dorothy and Harold Camblin and their daughter Amy. Amy was wearing a "Collingwood" school T-shirt. Upon seeing this Gerry asked if Amy was connected to Collingwood private school in West Vancouver. Yes, Amy taught there, AND, she knew Richard (Gerry's son) who goes to Collingwood! So, there's one for the 'small world' department for you. The Camblins gave us refreshments and Harold described a very nice route into Ottawa that ran through the farmlands and avoided the busy roads. Thank you very much for a wonderful visit.
We arrived at Leddy's brother Burtt's house about 3 pm (after one short misdirection on the way into town). Time for a couple of days off in Ottawa.
Burtt graciously offered to put Laura and I up while we were in Ottawa. We've had a couple of days off and have been touring around and planning the Quebec phase of this adventure.
The photo today is of the Dorothy, Amy and Harold Camblin (with some confused idiot in the background looking at a map) .
