hike

Yesterday afternoon, Parki, Angela, Jeff and I went for one last hike. No moose this time, but we were shadowed for a while by a very friendly gray jay who was obviously hoping for a handout. Sadly, we had nothing to offer him.

Parki and Angela went back to Toronto, and Jeff and I drove to Ottawa and checked into the Sheraton. When we went up to our room, however, we found that another guest was already there! Both he and we were somewhat surprised; fortunately it looked as though he had just checked in (i.e. hadn't yet changed into his jammies or whatever else he had planned for the evening). Jeff and I went back down, got another room key.

While Jeff is at his client's all day today, I'm going to take my laptop and check out some of the local sites as well as do some work. The hotel's only a short walk away from Parliament Hill, National Library of Canada, and the National Gallery. I've only been to Ottawa briefly once before over ten years ago, and didn't see very much...my main memory of the city is that it was cold. :-)
