We had a lovely evening in the airport hotel after our friend, Sue, dropped us off. Both of us have been so very weary that we went to sleep quite early and still Mike slept in until our wakeup call. The plane ride was uneventful with both of us dozing at one point or another.
We were both so excited to arrive and to drive to our hotel across the river from Ottawa in Quebec! In the end, we'll have been in five provinces counting our own. We are staying at the Chateau Cartier in Gatineau, Quebec. Mike lost his breath when he saw the hotel. It's quite something. I've posted a picture of the view from our window on this site.
We drove to the river and shared a lunch at the tiny Marina nearby. It was then that we realized that we are truly on Vacation. We're still both pretty weary so Mike is perusing the menu and I've had a rest and am now letting you know we're okay and enjoying ourselves. Tonight, at some point, we shall go stand in front of Parliament Hill. There's supposed to be a lovely light show at 9:00.
