Man, there have been all sorts of tips and comments generated after day one of Canada Week, I wish I had the time to deal with it all in as thorough a manner as it deserves. To start off with, I did a little research on this Rideau Canal that SOH mentions (which is in Ottawa, not Dawson, I've just run out of Ottawa scans). Two items of particular interest I found at that link: 1) These houseboat photographs are really cool, and 2) There seems to be a Canadian version of the Loch Ness monster living in the canal, Ottie The Otter. Take some time to learn more about Ottie and his canal, catch up on the commentary to yesterday's posts, and I will return shortly with more hot Canadian action.
