Random Pics from the Day

The photos are not in any order- the connection we have here is not very good, and it was very painful to upload the pics I did. There are others I wanted to share, but they will have to wait until I have more patience, or the stupid connection gets better.

Regardless, here is a quick peek at our day...













We had a great day today- we spent the majority of the day downtown Ottawa. We went to Parliament Hill and toured around. It is quite beautiful and the buildings sure make you feel small. It was cloudy and overcast most of the day, and we had two flash flood storms. The rain came down in buckets, and we took shelter in the "Senators" entrance way to the Parliament Building.

After Parliament hill we went down to Byward Market and looked at all the little shops. We saw lots of interesting people, and the dogs were very well behaved in the crowds of people.

Before dinner Jolayne, Sarah and I went down to the Nationals site. It is huge, and a little overwhelming. It is very beautiful, and appears to be very well organised. Tomorrow Jo and I go and run a warm up run, and then we'll spend the rest of the day touring around again.
