I'm now back in Ottawa for some time, to fill a staffing gap. This past year, I've enjoyed my Canada posts tour with three site visits total: Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa. I really enjoy the great north, not just because I've been here before but because all the wonderful memories it brings. I may be biased having met my husband and family here but somehow things always brought me back to Canada. I prayed to Mother Mary for her intercession at the Lady of Fatima shrine when I first applied for the Department of State job and we were at Niagara Falls at the time. My first tour took me to Ottawa, and when I was in high school my ad for penpals was published in Bop Magazine, and about 50% of the audience responded were Canadians.
I'm glad to be back, and for sure settling in is much faster. I know the city layout, I've continued my "home away from home" activities such as ballet and tennis lesson to keep up at it, and hope to do some sightseeing this weekend. The CLO recommended the ghost tour so I think that is what I'll aim for tonight or tomorrow night.
Looking forward to a great two weeks.
