Ottawa Day 2, Bungee Jumping, and The Road to Montreal

Day 13:
We have now made it to Montreal, Quebec.
The pictures below all portray a little spin through a large mall in Ottawa,
Erica's bungee jump, 
and the strange and interesting sights on the way to Montreal.
Holy Crap!
It's a Sears!

This is apparently what citizens of the U.S.A. wear.
For the record, I do not where bright yellow socks.

If Bono and the Joker had a son,
he would look like this guy.

In Canada, they don't go for weak-sauce layups,
so you better slam the rock home!

A bronzed map of Ottawa.

One of the canals in Ottawa.
Scuba? No.
Ripride? No.
Bungee? Damn skippy!

The place at which Erica voluntarily plummeted headlong off a perfectly functional platform.

The Crane of Despair!

The Crane of Despair overlooking the Chasm of Cataclysmic Death!
YAY!
Erica gets to bungee towards a lake!
That way she can use the lake's reflection to admire herself as she plummets to her watery grave.
How thoughtful!

Erica signing over her worldly wealth to me before she takes her suicidal plunge.




Oh look!
People testing the safety of the Crane.
Because we want those people who are willing to jump off this thing to live.

The condemned marches off to her doom.

On the Crane of Despair, awaiting her destruction.
And here is the plummet itself.
Sorry the video is sideways, didn't have time to figure out how to rotate it.
Still, just watch the tiny speck hurtling towards the water.
That's Erica.

And now it's time for serene nature photos.
(Awwwww....)

Canadian Farmland

A Canadian Power Transformer

More Canadian Farmland!

Canadian Clouds!

The place where Canadians hide their monks!

A Canadian forest!

Another Canadian Forest!

Ozone!

Canadians: They like to toss telephone poles.

A Canadian barbed wire fence!

Here's something different!
A FRENCH-Canadian Farm!

And a FRENCH-Canadian Forest!

Here's an odd pair of signs.
Either Moose and Deer both cross in this area.
ORRRRRR
Drivers need to be vigilant in order to avoid
the deer that run screaming from horny moose,
particularly at night.

This plane is named Mirabel.

More FRENCH-Canadian countryside.

A squirrel!

So apparently at random times large magnets will pick up cars off the roadways.
Canada is like a huge jumbo prize crane game.
