It's been a while. There's lots of stuff that's been going on, but I probably won't write about all of it because some of it isn't even my story to tell.

I finished the national asthma educator exam (I suspect a 70% chance of passing) after a halloween that was mildly exciting, but mostly just tiring. Adrian handed out candy while I worked on random

Hooray for Ottawa and Montreal! Two of my favourite places. When you're in Montreal you have to climb the mountain, I know it's lame, but it's very satisfying and the view can't be beat. Look for the warped birch near the top on the north side. Casa Del Popolo is a great vegetarian restaurant to eat at, good food, pretty cheap and good portions and they are a venue in the evenings. All of the museums and art galleries are worth going to. Street shops on St. Laurent and Ave Mont-Royal are both interesting. And of course wander around downtown for the architecture and near the universities for the fashion

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm hoping it'll be good weather and I'll be up for going up the mountain in Montreal--the baby might veto it, but I'm sure going to try!

Yeah, Adrian and I thought the National Gallery and Science museum would be good places to try as well--the science museum looked a little less kid-oriented than other science museums we've been to, which would be a nice change (I'd rather learn something than just get a review of grade 8 science!). We'll have to take a gander for the circus since I haven't seen it listed on any of the places we've been doing searches...

We're heading out mid-late Nov, so sadly probably no skating and unfortunately all the cool tours of Ottawa are not running. There was a "spy tour" that I was all psyched up about that takes you to Diefenbunker, but it looks like we'll just have to self-tour the spy end of things. I wonder if CSIS would accomodate us ;)

Ottawa is wonderful. I love just walking around the parliment buildings and taking the tour. Of course, last time we were there I was at meetings all day, and Julian took a 4 month old Hana around.

I haven't been to Montreal for a long long time, but I do remember it being fun. No specifics though!

None of the tours that are running in fall seem all that great--they're just walking tours and we could probably get the same out of a self-tour brochure. It's too bad, really...

I had a dream about you two last night! Well at the very least I chatted with you in my dream...

It's always nice to know I'm somewhere in your subconsciousness rattling around ;)

I had wondered what had happened re: Adrian's bday.. I hadn't heard anything. .glad he had a relaxing one :-)

We might do a combined birthday thing again this year, but it'll depend how the trip goes since we may need a few days to recover. I'm really looking forward to someday being able to go on a vacation that's NOT in November :P Stupid seniority...
