We arrived in Ottawa at our friend K's home around 4:30, and had a bit of a rest until she came home from work. Had a delicious home-cooked meal and good conversation with K and A, and a comfortable good night's sleep after our drive from Quebec City. On Friday we spent most of the day in downtown Ottawa, meeting another friend for lunch, and visiting the National Gallery to see their Canadian collection, including the Group of Seven. Loved the AY Jackson and Lauren Harris work especially. Wandered around Byward Market, and found our favourite olive oil at La Bottega.
In the evening we had dinner with K and A, then headed back to K's apartment to pack and get ready to go Saturday morning. We left Ottawa around 8:30 am, and drove as far as North Bay, through the delights of northern Ontario...mostly rocks, trees, and lakes/rivers. In North Bay I went to a small quilt show in the afternoon, before we enjoyed a marvelous meal at Churchills Roast Beef Restaurant. Off to Wawa area tomorrow.
