I had slept fairly well last night and today was a nice slow day. We went to see the nuns and we ate a bunch of times, but it is hard to know how well I ate because we were out an about for most of the day and returned to the hotel around 9:00pm….
I drove all of the way to Ottawa today and it was raining quite hard once we arrived in Ottawa. The rain was pretty bad and it made driving a bit difficult with very poor visibility. I think it was best that I was driving and not Melanie as she does not like driving in…
