Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. We are in Ottawa visiting our good friends Parviz and Gillian and their family. We went downtown Ottawa today to take in some of the festivities, but there was just too much walking and too many people for my comfort zone, so we had a really nice breakfast and got back on the bus and came home. I have been extremely tired since I have been here. We have been busy going out a lot, but I have also fallen asleep at the drop of a hat sitting in a chair. I guess the humidity, plus the heat, plus I played myself out before we came. We have had a wonderful time. Our dear friends took us out to a lovely Turkish restaurant last nite for dinner for our anniversary and tonite Parviz cooked Persian. Doesn't get any better than that. Good friends, good food. Tomorrow we go to Parliament Hill for the changing of the guards, in which their son-in-law is a key participant. We have seats on the hill to watch the ceremony. Then in the afternoon we fly to Toronto to be picked up by my brother and sister-n-law and will spend a few days there.
