Well I'm back! The long weekend was fabulous!

We spent our Canada Day wandering downtown Ottawa, consuming beer (Wayne and I, the women went shopping), and the evening culminated in an outdoor concert featuring Tom Cochrane in front of Parliament followed by a pretty decent fireworks display. It took about an hour to walk back to the hotel, thanks to the tens of thousands of people partying in/clogging the streets.

On Saturday we took a drive southeast, and spent the day in Montreal. We enjoyed it more than last time, having taken the time to see a bit more. The city still suffers from a lack of maintenance. The Old City and Mont Royal were enjoyable though.

I have a bunch of pictures that I'll be posting in short order, so stay tuned!
