Today for the first time I noticed that here in Ontario (and maybe Canada) Walmart stores have a McDonalds restaurant attached. I am sure that in the US it is a Subway. In any case that proved convenient today as McDonalds has free wifi and gave us a chance to catch up on the website. Before getting underway this morning we got into conversations with quite a group of people who were curious about our vehicle, wanted to take a photo and look inside. We sometimes feel we are getting a bit tired of telling the same story but the people are friendly, the curiosity natural and we better get used to it for it will happen in other parts of the world as well.

We traveled highway 17 into Ottawa (Canada's capital city) today and must admit to a little surprise as the road is a pretty rough two lane country road. Only at the out skirts of the city does it turn into a modern freeway. A bit of tricky navigation with the iPad got us onto the Ottawa River Parkway which as the name implies runs through a very nice park along the Ottawa River and eventually passed the spectacular/impressive Parliament House building complex. Getting from there to our chosen Walmart (right near the bus terminal) was a bit tricky but gave me a chance to practice driving the truck in dense city traffic and tight city streets.

Dinner tonight was quiche, made by Nina in the campers microwave-convection oven.
