A change of scenery, especially during the lockdown, is food for my soul.
I’m grateful Mom hasn’t changed her pharmacy to one on our side of the border. This way, as an essential service, we get to visit Ottawa every every so often to pickup her prescriptions. And while we’re there… pickup take-out at one of my favourite restaurants (I rotate each time between Eastside Mario’s and Lonestar), take the scenic route home, and just get a break from the lockdown grind.
One of my favourite things about Ottawa are the parkways. You wouldn’t know you’re in a city because of the beautiful nature around you.
