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.
