First thing after I got to Ottawa and checked in at my hotel, I walked to Parliament Hill.

The real reason I came to Pariament Hill today. Tucked around back is the Parliament Hill Cat Sanctuary. Some friendly volunteers take care of a whole bunch of cats here (and the occasional raccoon and groundhog (pictured above)).

Later in the week, we took a dinner cruise on the Ottawa River. This is Steve's house (for now; it's 24 Sussex Drive, the house of the Prime Minister of Canada).

Just after the conference finished on Friday, a film crew swooped in and started filming for a TV movie tentatively called "Custody of the Heart", starring the plumber from Desparate Housewives.
