Settling in to Canada

Seven and a half weeks later, pretty much Canadian eh? Acro yoga, friendly work mates, and a lovely housemate have made settling in easy. Ottawa has a really nice outdoorsy vibe and now that I’m dressed appropriately I can enjoy it. Tomorrow I set off for Montréal for seven days staying at a hostel. Montréal is the acro yoga mecca and I’ll be meeting up for at least one class while I’m there. A picture tells a thousand words so here is 11 thousand words.

: Bought furniture

: Christmas tree hunting

: Caught a tree

: Packed a tree in a car with Susan and Jerome

: Jerome not being impressed about sharing the back seat with a tree

: Christmas tree mounting with Julie, my new housemate

: Christmas tree decorating

: Christmas Presents from Secret Santa (aka my sister Sam)

: Playing lots of acro yoga

: More acro yoga

: Even more acro yoga

Seven and a half weeks later, pretty much Canadian eh? Acro yoga, friendly work mates, and a lovely housemate have made settling in easy. Ottawa has a really nice outdoorsy vibe and now that I'm dressed appropriately I can enjoy it. Tomorrow I set off for Montréal for seven days staying at a hostel. Montréal is the acro yoga mecca and I'll be meeting up for at least one class while I'm there.
