Ottawa

the good weather's here to stay! we actually went out in tees! (ok it rained a bit-chris just corrected me) we spent most of the morning at Omega Park, something like a safari... the animals would come right to the bus window! got loads and loads of pics to show you guys... even have pics of a racoon!!! haha...

ottawa itself is the capital of canada, typical city, not as bustling as toronto which is canada's largest city... but it's got lots of canadian history rooted in it's architecture... we were supposed to stay at a hostel that used to be the jail house of ottawa... but i read that they used to do public hangings there... erm, so chris and i decided to change hostels... and boy, wasn't that a wise decision! now we get a more comfy bed and room, FREE milk, FREE bicycles to use and a nice homely environment! (with no scary toilets or ghost stories...) woo hoo!~ we're going to wake up real early tomorrow to cycle along the rideau canal. (it's a hand-dug canal dug in 1860 something, that runs through ottawa, it's 220 km long... no we're not going to cycle the whole length... we'll end up back in kingston... )

both of us are good... we're superb grocery shoppers now, takes a trained eye to pick out a lunch that is nutritious, cheap, doesn't require a can opener, doesn't require refridgeration la da da.. ok not time.. bye
