Another great Canada Day weekend in Ottawa. We wandered around in the crowds, saw some busker shows, watched boats go through the locks, paid way to much for lousy “Canada Day Special Menu” meals at restaurants and saw the fireworks. I loved every minute of it. Sunday for a change of pace we took a canal tour boat, something I never felt the need for when I lived there. It wasn’t all that exciting, but the tour guide was pretty funny.
The flight back was good too. Same problem with the push to talk switches as we had on the way out, and I forgot to have Vicki fill out the customs form while we were flying so the customs people had to poke around the plane and ask for all the paperwork (and I forgot where the registration is stored on the Lance, so that took a bit of time to find).
All the time when you are writing about custom problems I get reminded how happy we are about the Schengen Treaty, in a country as small as Belgium crossing a border is an every-day event and getting inspections the whole time would be pretty irritating.
