Bye bye Ottawa

After a 14-day visit with my daughters, it was time to leave. We had a lovely barbecue dinner at the Skylounge of their apartment building. At 11pm, the gas to the open fire was turned off, and a few minutes later, we were told the sky lounge was closing.

I woke up quite early to organize my luggage.
