Greetings from Ottawa. Today we traveled trough 8 locks which raised us 90 feet. see the link below. We are docked 2 blocks from Parliment in Ottawa. Which is quite a complex of very old buildings. The dock is free and without electric. We have run the generator since arriving at 11am as it is 90 degrees and Humid. We visited parliment and took photos from the Peace Tower. It is very awe inspiring to be at the base of these 8 locks, look up and think, "We're going to the top of this hill in a boat!" Tomorrow if we have good weather we will head west on the Rdeau Canal and Lock System of 48 Locks and into Lake Ontario through the Trent Severn. A total of 125 miles. Thanks to all who are keeping track of our progress. We are well. And becoming more fit as we go up and down the ladder (16 times minimum today as we went through all those locks), and do sightseeing on foot.

Glad to hear that all is going well with you two. Sounds like you are having a great time. We will be going back to Florida hopefully this week.
Love, Betty and Harry
