RAIN!
Ottawa's heaviest rain in years began early Thursday morning and went on and on and on... roofs leaked, basements flooded, cars were trapped in deep puddles. Even the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill was closed. Interestingly the Emergency Departments in the Ottawa Hospital were much less busy than usual. Apparently the inclement weather was part of the hurricane Frances that hit Florida recently.
ESL students must have learned new words such as deluge, torrent, and soaked. Not to mention umbrella ;-)
Canada plays the Czechs tomorrow in the World Cup semi finals. What World Cup? Ice Hockey of course... Fans around the country will be glued to their TV sets.
Talk to you next time. Got to go dry out my shoes.
