Sarah and Ian's Move to Ottawa

The story so far...having planned and booked a three month trip to South America, we were given a difficult decision to make when Ian was offered a job in Canada. After much hard thinking, we took the job, but get the best of both worlds as we still have two weeks in Brazil and Chile before arriving in Ottawa. We are now living in Ottawa and enjoying the big adventure of living somewhere new. This is the story of our experience...

Who's the Cutepest?

We'd not found a bear or a beaver in the Gatineau park, though we had seen quite a lot of animals. Our luck with seeing nature continued this morning when Craig looked out the bathroom window and saw a raccoon in the garden next to our flat! I know Ottawa isn't a huge place, but we do live in the city you know, so we never expected to see a raccoon so nearby. After watching the raccoon until he went round the corner to tell his mate that there were Brits round there looking at him, Sarah and I went out to try and find the cuddly critters. We weren't successful but we did have a chat with a neighbour who told us that raccoons are fairly common in cities as they dig through rubbish looking for food. They love fried chicken apparently.
