Our recent days have been very full with visits (old friend Mark, now living in Malawi, and new friend Sandra from Ontario.) Mark, Sandra, Bernie and I had lunch at Le Moulin de Provence in the Byward Market and then I wandered taking a few photographs and bought a lot of wonderful raspberries. During their visit, Bernie and Sandra had a grand adventure and went white-water rafting on the Ottawa River, and Mark and I had a lovely lunch in scenic nearby Wakefield, Québec. Good times!

Shortly after Mark and Sandra left I was offered a new job...so I will not be blogging for a while. When I am organized, I will resume, and share some photos of a place which, for now, I will let be a surprise when the time comes. Bernie and I are very pleased about this new development in our lives, but details will wait until my first "letter" home.
