Ottawa, Ontario
For more information on our fair city, see www.ottawa.com
Ottawa, the capital of Canada, has been our home since November 1992. Ray was an engineer with Bell Canada and Jeanne worked in the IT world. We are both now retired and have time to pursue our other interests and travel the world. Ottawa is a great place for us to bicycle and hike in the Gatineau hills and easy access to the Adirondacks, New Hampshire, Vermont and Virginia.
In the winter of 1999-2000 we combined a trip to Nepal with backpacking through South East Asia. This was so successful we have been spending up to 5 months each year exploring more countries. We added another dimension to our travels in December 2007 and January 2009 by volunteering for a month as part of our trip.
In the past few years, we have spent most of the winter in Mexico. We still enjoy travelling to new countries every year, several with our friends from my alma mater, Bishop’s. All in all, we don’t have time to work anymore. Life is too short.
