Ottawa!

Our layover adventures continue....
This time a bit more glamorous!
We had about 36 hours (to get lost) in Ottawa....
Visiting the Commonwealth...
The waterway canal...
We were able to watch a boat go through the canal... through 6 different locks to get to the Ottawa River.**
Escargot! When in Rome.... or Ottawa.
Michael Jackson lives! And with a bad mullet!
Apparently, the Chief Justice of Canada is also Mrs. Santa Claus!

**As a side note, the Senior Dunn's have a great story of taking a boat through a similar canal. Make sure to ask them.

Stancie.. I know! But I guess I'll always be put on the British Clagg team....

It's just your pretend accent that gets you on the British Team. [I've yet to see you drink tea or eat scones!]

Yeah, right! Simon's on the American Team. He doesn't even say "blimey".

The British Team removed him from their (and my) side......

Well, we'll see who's first in line to change from being a Brit to an American Citizen.......
