Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.
Tad Williams

In loving memory of Madeleine and Robert Richardson. I am grateful for the time that we had, and I miss you both. You will be with me where ever the road may lead.

Ottowa... finally arrived in Canada as I expected it to be

We're here! Franco-phones are now a minority... The KOA we're staying at has over 150 acres, Canoeing is available a dozen yards from our tent, and except for the neon green monster tiger mosquitoes, we're happy with this area. We'll probably chill for a couple nights before moving on. Original plan was to see the cities all the way down to Toronto (avoiding re-crossing the border if at all possible), but between Christian and myself, we change plans faster than even we collectively can keep up with. At this point I am thinking we will recharge here in the Ottawa area before making the Northern Great lakes traverse. No offense to Toronto, but I've seen it before, and it would be about a 500 mile round trip 'detour'. Christian and I have hit the ground running on our camp set up/break down rhythm. We're fine tuned for some waaaaaaay out there camping (in fact even KOA's will be a luxury as far as I can tell). more posts at a later date
