Holiday soon

I am getting excited about our trip to Ontario. We decided that it would be fun to spend Canada Day in Ottawa so have booked a place there for two nights. Geoff's dad's cousin, who we really want to visit, doesn't live far from there so we will be able to fit in a visit with them. Geoff wants to go to Niagara Falls so I think we will stay there the night before we fly home.
Talked to Anne yesterday and she is going to try to get lots of work done this week so she can be with us during our visit. She says there is a lot to do around there and she is looking forward to doing some things she can't do without a car.
Geoff has a course in Edmonton this week until Thursday. Not very good timing. However we have worked all the travelling details out.
We finally got some rain. I never thought I would be saying that. But things are quite dry so the rain is quite welcome. The trouble here is that once it starts it doesn't want to stop. But it is supposed to be nice later in the week. I swear the peas grew two inches since last night.

Niagara Falls really is worth seeing. I suggest going on Maid of the Mist boat too-it feels like you are inside them, though when looking from up top, really the boat is some distance away. Also, the tunnels behind are good to go through.Plus all the kitchsy venues in the Falls is fun people watching.
I ahven't been, but apparently there is a good Farmer's market in Kitchener-not very far away form Guelph-lots of Mennonite farmers there (the horse and buggy riding, all dressed in black ones)
We realy liked Ottawa a lot-went to the National Art gallery (free!) and Parliament Hill of course. I would like to someday go to the Museum of Civilization too.
Will ask Richard for other ideas if you like too...
