August 10, 2007. The long road to Canada



Welcome to Ontario, Canada

Helloooo Canada!

Somewhere in Canada, August 10, 2007












We take a quick pit stop at the St. Lawrence Islands

We're Here!


Elaine, (She has no idea what she got herself into) our graceful host, Lynne , Paige and Kiana. That yellow-colored door is the entrance to the garage, not the house.

Tired already?


Elaine, we've been there for a few hours and you're already overwhelmed and stressed out?

August 10, A walk in the Park


One of the many amenities of living in the Ottawa suburbs, walking and biking trails! Here Peter takes Paige and Kiana for a walk. just watch out for the occasional skunk!

The Parliament at Night, August 10, 2007



Parliament Building











One of the buildings at Parliament Hill make a good background for these lovely ladies!

Changing of the Guards

This are scenes from the 'Changing of the Guards', 30 mins of marching by people you can hardly see except when they walk into the field.

That's Lynne (left and bottom picture). Next time we'll have the guards at Buckingham Palace.

The parliamentary cats are a famous fixture at parliament hill. These are stray cats that have taken residence behind the parliament building. Today, the place has been taken over by squirrels,..and racoons!
