The blog is not finished! But after the Theft (yes, capital letters), the want/need to update the blog took second fiddle to dealing with the Theft and just finishing the trip sans computer. Since being home, it's been hard to get that motivation to complete it. But I will. Ever so slowly. Please be patient!

Day 5 - Democracy in Action

December, and there’s still no snow on the ground here. And, unlike the day before, it’s not raining!!!! Today would be a day of blindly wandering through the streets of Ottawa and finally, FINALLY, getting in to see Question Period, which was by far exactly what I anticipated it would be.

Day 4 - Waterproof. . . until you fall into the river.

Usually, when you buy something that’s waterproof, you expect to remain as such for a long period of time. Although, sometimes, you gotta wonder if maybe they don’t entirely test it out.

I tested it out four-fold today.

Results: Partial fail.

Day 3 - Once a bellman . . .

The past two days have been a nice way to easy myself into the role of a traveler. From figuring my way around an unknown transit terminal, figuring out a strange cities bus system, to going on a schedual that is completely my own, I am learning just what kind of traveler I am.

I’m also learning just how waterproof my clothes are.
