then a walk around the parliament, sparks st., etc. had lunch at a patio cafe on sparks st, while everyone passing by was ogling and playing with max. watched some boats going thru the locks on the rideau, followed by a 1.5- hr sightseeing boat cruise on the ottawa river, looking at some mansions, ambassadors' homes, embassies, etc. saw a girl at the locks who i swear must have been nicki minaj but i didnt go over to ask.
ok, it's really hot and humid and by now we're dead tired, time to head for the campsite. drivers once again just as crazy as this morning! streets jammed like crazy.
back at camp joanne whipped up some really weird stuff for supper but it was good just the same. of course karl got stuck doing dishes cuz she cleverly decided this was an opportune time for a shower.
tomorrow we're off to visit karl's brother at his cottage for lunch, just outside sharbot lake. then off to visit karl's friend david at his campground in cloyne.
While we were in Ottawa, an RCMP officer stopped to ask us about max. Karl of course told him max is a "trained killer dog" at which the the fellow just chuckled and said yeah, I can see that, at your command, right? A little while later he stopped again and came over to talk to us. What a character! He regaled us with some "strange but true" stories about the people whose statues we were looking at!
You wouldn't belive the number of people who stop to ask about Max and/or pet him!! We have met sooooo many people that way! Even on the boat, The captain stopped by with water for him, and some Chinese exchange students came to pet him.
Well, we have a fire roaring ( smart move when it's 30C) and Max is bugged by the bugs, so I gotta go rescue him and put him back in the trailer........
