July 19 – Ottawa (Dow’s Lake)
Layover Day – 45°23′47″ N 75°42′19″ W

Catherine left this morning for her canoeing adventure in Algonquin Park. She will meet some friends there & spend about 4 days canoeing & camping.

Our car was still in Smiths Falls so she took the train to retrieve it. The trip that took us 2 1/2 days aboard Santosha will be completed in about 45 minutes. She then has a 4 hour drive from Smiths Falls to the group’s meeting place

I had a glamorous day doing laundry & “housecleaning” the boat. That wore me out by lunchtime so I had a big nap in the afternoon & contemplated what to have for dinner.

Now that Catherine is gone for a few days I can break out the “good stuff” & I won’t have to feel so selfish about not wanting to share. I just need to find that special recipe book that I downloaded from the internet last year…..

Cheers!
