Lorna and Laura

Lorna (formerly of Thunder Bay) picked me up at the VIA Rail and took me on a little tour of Ottawa. She also showed me where she lived in Quebec when she first moved to Ottawa area with her husband Jide. It was great seeing her again. It was quite windy the day I arrived, so it is not the best photo of me with Lorna as my hair was being blown everywhere.

Meeting up at Boston's - Lorna and I met up with the rest of her family - Lorna's husband Jide (in the back on the right side), Lorna's sister Carol and Lorna's dad (in the forefront). The one taking the photo is Marcia - Lorna's other sister. Last time I saw Carol and Marcia was at Lorna's wedding which was 3 years ago now. It was great seeing them all again - as always - plenty of laughs throughout the evening.

Lorna picked me up from the CIHI Building on Monday and she was able to take a photo of me in front of the Parliament Buildings. The huge middle structure is called the Peace Tower. If I remember reading it correctly, you can go to the top of the tower and have a wonderful view of the city of Ottawa.
