Hot, Hot, Hot!!!

So today it was 101 degrees in Ottawa (at least according to the thermometer in the car). Yikes!! We toured Parliement today and saw the changing of the guard. Very cool. Aunt Rita is something else! She's an 82 year old nun and has been running circles around us. I have no idea where she gets this energy! Yesterday, we arrived in Ottawa around 3:00 pm after driving from Syracuse. At 3:13, Aunt Rita had us back in the car, headed downtown. No time to rest, no sir! We had an agenda we had to keep. We had a great time yesterday - crossed the river into Quebec and went to the Museum of Civilization. Very cool. Later, we went back into Ottawa (after getting lost in Quebec looking for the new casino - Why can't they use English signs in Quebec? Had dinner at a Scottish pub, then went to the light and music show at Parliement. Very nice.

We have 7 hours of driving tomorrow as we head to Kitchener. More later.

She gets her energy from doing service to Creator. If more of us would seek a true higher calling to make the world a better place and not place labels nor place blame, we could all have energy to run circles around those so many years younger than us. Oh yeah, and are you sure those temps weren't Celsius?
