Ottawa from the River

 

We arrived home as scheduled on September 29 driving through rain, sometimes heavy, from Ottawa to Oshawa. We stopped in Cobourg for dinner with Doug and Joan which gave us some time to catchup. It was nearly 10 PM when we arrived home which was ready to receive us thanks to Gary.

Before leaving Ottawa we managed to get a river cruise before the rain began. Actually, there was one shower while we were on the boat. There were seven tourists on a boat capable of handling about 75 but a young woman from Burlington did a great job of narrating the trip.

The rain had subsided by the time we returned to the dock so we worked to Sparks Street for a quick lunch then back to the car to leave the Capital. As we passed the capital buildings Wellington Street was filled with tractors, farmers apparently protesting.

This will be the final post from this trip and the Journal will fall silent until our next excursion. Clearly we could not do everything at every stop but I suppose that leaves room for another visit.

Here are a few photos from the last day.
