Ottawa - Jenny

I suddenly have a sense of deja vu...somehow this moment stands out very clearly to me. However, I don't think I've ever done this quite this way before...

Right now it is past 1 am in Ottawa and we are at the Sheraton Ottawa Hotel. We had dinner downstairs. Strangely enough, compared with the meals we've had for the past two days (which were home cooked), this "gourmet" meal doesn't taste as good.

Last night and the night before we slept in cabins in the wood. Except for the fact that we got bitten by mosquitos (actually, just the girls), things went quite well. We grilled corn on the cob and made stew, which contained real steak, veggies, lots of different spices, and egg (the Chinese way).

The night before that we BBQ'ed more steak and cooked rice (we brought a rice cooker) and had a great meal as well.

There is not much to pine for, except for one thing. THE SUUUUUN!!!!

We left Vancouver behind, hoping to be baked. Unfortunately, the moment we left Saskatchewan this giant rain cloud that spanned three provinces would not let up. It has poured and poured and poured and God is trying to teach us all a lesson in patience.

But mine is sorely running low. I need some sun soon, or I'll wither away.

Tomorrow we will explore Ottawa for a little bit, check out the market, and then we will go and head over to Montreal. After 26 hours of driving in three days, suddenly a city that's 1.5 hours away seem extremely close.

The videos we took are hilarious, we will show when we get back. As for the poems, I will post them later as I am almost out of time on the net.

Talk to you all later!
