woke up to this view out the window first thing…

  
bit rainy and damp…

we had breakfast, visited, and made plans for the day and week…

got a few pictures of our pretty toes while waiting for the bus… people around us must have thought we were crazy…

  
off to the mall to see Cinderella… excellent movie… “have courage and be kind”…

falafel in the food court with a bottle of water and then downtown for a boat cruise on the river… wonderful falls which I haven’t seen before as well as lots of other facts and tidbits from the tour guide…

  
this shot looks toward Gatineau Park where we went hot air ballooning last year when I was here…

  
the light was much better when we got off the boat so we retook all the pictures we had done on our way down beside the locks…

then a walk through Byward Market and dinner at Luxe… delicious… had bone marrow for the first time and it was very nice… followed up with ricotta gnocchi on asparagus, porcini mushrooms, edamame, and tomato, with parmesan snow… oh my… if you get a chance you should eat there…

  
finally finished off dinner with a beavertail…  a bit of indulgence… only ate a little more than half…

  
lots of water in my day, lol…

great day…
