Ottawa

Our primary purpose of this journey was to bury Jo-Anne's father who had been cremated about 18 months ago but because of Covid it prevented us from coming to Ottawa. That ceremony was completed on the 20th and I'll get to that in another blog.

Coincidentally, it is also been 50,years since we met here in Ottawa, romanced, got married and had our first apartment here in 1972. Because of both of these occasions ou daughter Leighanne joined us here to see the places her parents have talked about for all of her life.

So for the 18th and the 19th we showed her most of our old haunts including our first apartment which was right on Elgin Street about 10 blocks from the Canadian Parliament.

From here Jo-Anne could walk to work. Alot of memories from that time as we tried to initially set up the place as newlyweds.
