It’s the Territorial Executive Conference in Ottawa.  We left warm and sunny Edmonton to come to wet and cool Ottawa – so any attempt to see the Tulip Festival is hampered by weather and our schedule.  We did get out tonight with light still left in the sky to see some of the colours of The Hill and area.  I really love Ottawa and the culture and history of the area.  For five years we lived in Ottawa enjoying our work and the community.  Festivals such as the Tulip Festival make this a great city to enjoy the outdoors…but of course there are no mountains here.  These aren’t the greatest quality photos – they are from my BlackBerry – perhaps another argument for having an iPhone!
