Ottawa Visit


So, with a couple of days off, we've been able to do laundry, a bit of touring and plan where we go next.
Many, many thanks to Burtt Lilley who put Leddy, Laura and I up while we were here.

Thanks also to the staff of the Hull information centre who have been very helpful with information about where to go in Quebec and about the Route Verte (Quebec's system of cycling routes and trails).

Since we're in Ottawa I've included the obligatory picture of the Peace Tower and the Centre Block. Notice how the sun cooperated - we've got a nice day today.

The map is the proposed route through Quebec for Leddy, Laura and myself. Gerry and Ashley are going to cut off the triangle on the left of the map by going along the Ottawa River to Laval and meeting up with us east of Montreal. Leddy, Laura and I don't yet have accommodations booked for the next couple of nights, so we may have to modify the route. We'll update you when we get there (wherever 'there' is).
