The largest mess and clean-up: Mary Jane gathering bugs across Canada! There were very few bugs overall until we reached Calgary in early June. We tried to wash her in Regina with limited success. Back home in Ottawa, Rob cleverly used shower-detergent to pre-soak Mary Jane's nose. That did the trick. All shiny again!

The largest disappointment: returning home and seeing less progress than expected on the construction of our neighbouring condo building. We miss Metro.
