While I am not in Ottawa I am from there. I do miss the tulips although I
already have some in my garden here

To answer your question...the best place to go to see the tulips, well that
would be Dow's Lake of course! Same area they hold the festival as well as
all along the canal. By the end of April the tulips should be in bloom and
they are so beautiful.

Thanks. I have no idea where Dow's Lake is, though. I have never been
able to enjoy the tulip festival before, so I had no idea where they put
all the tulips (and I had no idea where the actual events were held -
only that they were held in Ottawa, *somewhere* ;-) ). As usual, we'll
be staying downtown, so I hope that that part of the canal will have lots.

My DH used to live there. He was in some place with a Greek name.
Athens, I think.


Hehehe that would make sense. Athens, Ohio is home to Ohio University as
well. I like the way you remembered the name! You are clever...

-Kara.



Yes - he was a visiting professor at Ohio University. That's it!

This was, sadly, in the days before I came into his life. :-( He seems
happy with being a hermit these days, but hopefully I'll be able to get
him out and touring around again. It's been like pulling teeth just to
get him to agree to a road trip that he hasn't yet fully agreed to...
(I keep adding friends and family who he hasn't seen in YEARS to the
list, hoping to convince him, but nooooooo. But maybe suggesting that
we show off the baby will do it, so maybe I'll get lucky next year.)

phthwerrrt!
Why can't you southern buggers just use your brains and start your days an
hour earlier instead of *changing the time*??? ;P

DH is from the Sunshine Coast and his uncle lives in Cairns. We will
end up living in either Cairns or Darwin by the end of this decade so
I think I'm going to have to learn to drink beer


Hah - I actually liked to drink the odd thimblefull by the time I left NQ
(Atherton) .... but only really really cold homebrew. But you are right,
about 99.99% of the rest of the population up there drink gallons (kegs) of
the stuff.
The most amusing thing about the north are the TV adds ... every second one
has a pair of boobs as the main feature .... and yet none of the boobs are
being used to breastfeed anyone
My tip for living in Cairns - don't! Live in Kuranda and just take the
20-odd minute drive up and down the 'hill' everyday ... its much prettier
and much cooler than Cairns.

I have lived with daylight savings my entire life. I HATE the way it
screws with my system twice a year. It takes me weeks to get used to
the new time. I wish governments would just go back to standard time.
