Returning to Ottawa - Day 4
Day 4 was also interesting, because I visited a friend in Sudbury for a couple of hours (chatted, snacked, and played ping-pong), after checking out of my hotel at 11:00. Compliments of my friend, I was presented a home-made jar of plum jam, and a green Thai hot pepper freshly off his backyard garden. Also, visited the well-known (at least in Sudbury) "Dynamic Earth" museum in the afternoon at 13:45 for a couple of hours, for a tour of an underground copper-nickel mine (about 65 meters below ground level, I believe). It was a $20 admission fee plus tax. The underground mine was cold and damp, with occasional dripping water here and there. Then, it was a straight drive home to Ottawa at 16:40, arriving in Ottawa at 23:35, with a 40-minute stop over for dinner in a tiny town on just west of Mattawa on Highway 17. Soon after driving off from Sudbury, saw a couple of white-tailed deer dashing across the highway about two cars ahead of me. More to be added... stay tuned.
