...a blog about whatever I both choose and have opportunity to share. I tried this once before, when we spent two years living in Ottawa, and it went fairly well.

Gatineau Park
On the last day before Jane started back to work we packed up a bag and headed a good 20mins over the border to Gatineau Park. Once the troops were ready we went for a lovely walk. We also found the world’s least helpful trail sign. After the walk, we drove a bit and found a nice picnic area that offered a rather spectacular view.
Bart - you ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until I get around to posting pics of our neighborhood. That said, the leaves have started to yellow and go red in jus the last week. still plenty of green about, but the blush has begun.
pod - got it in one, well done!
Dirk - the jogging pram is Lillian's favourite new thing. The owners of the house left it behind, along with a lovely welcome note.
I was born in the USA, then I lived in Mexico and then Australia, then Canada and then back to Australia. These days I have Australia/USA dual citizenship. Next up, a few years in Malaysia. It's a good life.
I finished my B.Arts with a double major in international relations and completed an honours with a thesis on the topic of nuclear proliferation.
In early 2004 I gained a position with the Australian Dept of Defence where I worked in international policy before moving over into strategic policy. From time to time I take leave from the Dept to follow my wonderful wife overseas for her work. Like I said, a good life.
Time to update the bio again, I think... since you now live in Canada.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's that three-wheel thing with the youngster in it? Are you secretly trying to fulfill your Jetsons fetish through your children?
So green. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat picnic spot was (I think) the Etienne Brule lookout.
