Peter and Lorne |
We met with a friend of
Peter’s, Lorne Conway, and he toured us all around Ottawa. Lorne and Peter worked together at Office
King in Lloydminster back in 1985.
We got together in the
morning and went to a place near Lorne’s for brunch. Then headed downtown Ottawa to tour
Parliament.
It was a wonderful tour,
beautiful building and great learning.
Most of all we had super company!
Lorne told us one of the
highlights is eating “beaver tails” so we had to try them. They are like elephant ears, but you can put
many more toppings on them. Absolutely
delicious!
We then headed back to
Lorne’s house for a BBQ supper. We met
his daughter, Briana, who played OzFlux with the kids to keep them
company.
After supper we watched
highlights of Lorne and Briana’s trip to Australia where they sky dived. Then they
scuba dived in the ocean to swim with sharks!
What a wonderful visit we
had, thank you Lorne and Briana for your amazing hospitality!
These are the things that we
treasure the most, spending time with amazing people along our travels. As we evaluate our journey, we are finding that
the places are cool, but it is the people that make our journey amazing and the
most memorable.
