Summer in Ottawa



I've been enjoying summer in Ottawa, since its been unusually nice; no smog alerts, hazy grey skies, humidexes in the 40s, or brownouts. My Dad has almost moved, and my belongings are now all officially out of Hillcrest. I'll just need to work out what to do with them, and decide what to bring with me on my trip. I've never had to pack so lightly for such a long period of time. I officially have "65 litres" of space, but will have to keep it less than that for the stuff I pick up en route. My itinerary is pretty much set now: A quick trip to Halifax, then out on the 20th, one day in London, 2 in northern Jutland, down to Paris until July 1st, and then biking from there. Probably I'll strike east toward champagne, Verdun, Alsace, then south toward Besancon, down toward Lyon, and then as far south as I can get, hopefully into Provence, depending on weather and time and money. Then I'll jet back to Copenhagen to visit the family, and then back to London for the return to Canada on the 6th of August.
