Specs mission to Ottawa

Adam in our sketchy dorm room that we rented at the University of Ottawa.

A couple of weekends ago Adam and I went to Ottawa to check out the city. As many of you already know, I'm going to be attending grad school there in the fall, taking a MA in Communications (government and media focus). I thought I'd share some photos and a bit about our trip with you.

Our friend Leon enjoys a hotdog on campus. Look how much he's enjoying it! Look!

I think this sign is for me (in 2015)

We went to this great pub for supper and Sangria. We were up top at "The Pour House" at The Aude Dubliner. This is in the Byward Market area.

Mangos at the Byward Market. I seriously eat a mango every afternoon. I love 'em!

Fiddleheads and asaparagus are in season.

There were many people painting at the Tulip Festival.

Tulips! We were there at the end of the festival, so there weren't as many as a week or so earlier.

These girls were so cute. There were a lot of sod (grass) figures around the park.

This figure had FAKE TULIPS around it. We thought that was shameful at a festival devoted to the flower!

Local HogsBack microbrew. They decorated a tulip for the festivities.

This was in the International Tent. There was music, food, and knick-knacks to buy.

I dressed to match (and got a brutal sunburn in the process).

When Obama visited Canada he stopped at this bakery. They named a cookie after him and play the news clip of him eating the cookie in the store on a loop. Pretty sad if you ask me....in the nation's capital to boot!

Best photo ever! Adam at the Hard Rock Cafe with Michael Jackson's pants that he wore the first time he moon-danced!
