| Back from the Great White North |

Just got back from five days in the beautiful environs of Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec. My last foray into Canada was several years back and considerably further north and west, when we went to Edmonton and then drove the length of the Canadian Rockies down to Calgary, which was one of the most incredibly beautiful drives in the world. Ottawa and Gatineau are lovely, too, especially at this time of year when the leaves were changing.

The Fairmont Chateau Laurier A beautiful hotel, but not ours, alas!
