Ottawa

2 weeks ago Tinneke had a double bill presentation at Udem (together with her old Belgian colleague) and then they took the show on the road to Ottawa for another presentation. She's becoming quite the rockstars, 2 gigs in 1 week!

So we ended up visiting Ottawa, met other Belgians there (you'd be surprised how many are stranded there) and spend the evenings drinking, eating, discussing music, politics and whatnot with our friends Craig & Nathalie.

Also, T. mom (at least when she was living in Sask. for 4 months) happened to be Ottawa. Unfortunately she had the flu, so we only caught a glimpse of her.

Although Ottawa is Canada's capital, she merely has the administrative features of a capital. So apart from a couple of nice spots (Byward Market, Bank St.) and some great museums, Ottawa has not much to offer (especially when coming from bustlin' MTL). Except for the Bluesfest with Bwab Dylan this year (!).

But anyway, here are some pics:
