3 days on the road

Hi,
We've just completed our first 3 days on the road.
It was hard to leave the house with all the flowers blooming and the pool open and waiting for warm enough temps. We came to Canada driving along the Saint Lawrence seaway, with views of the thousand islands.
We are staying at a fairground in Almonte, (about 15 miles from Ottawa.) It is beautiful here right by the Mississippi Mills River, NOT OUR MISSISSIPPI! Today we went into Ottawa on the bus to see the Tulip Festival. There are more than 1 million tulips blooming, along the Rideau Canal. We took a boat ride on the canal to view them but tomorrow we will take the car in and ride our bikes, I'm sure we'll get a better view that way. Once again they are not at their peak, we should have been here last week.






The second picture is allong the seaway.
