Having not seen his friend Alex Lucas Artiste for many years, Rob Dennis was excited to get to visit his pal for a few days.
Although he has some bus troubles, Rob eventually arrived in Ottawa where Alex was waiting to meet him. Alex lives in Gatineau, Quebec, which neighbours Ottawa, so getting to Alex's place from the nation's capital was a breeze.

Rob saw the Parliament Building in Ottawa, dined on world-famous poutine fries in Quebec and was a big kid in a candy store, when he and Alex checked out Sugar Mountain.
Believe it or not, Rob found a Mr Bill keychain at Sugar Mountain candy store. Mr who you ask? Mr Bill! He was a big hit on Saturday Night Live back in its early years. (search Mr Bill on You Tube sometime and you'll know exactly who this character was and the various ways he was tortured...."OH NO!")
They also checked out a bar and Ottawa's Flea Market before Rob has to return home. I was happy to help out by driving Rob to and from the bus terminal in St Catharines and if I had known a gigantic candy store was going to be part of the tour, I might just have sneaked onto the bus and joined them...LOL.
Glad you had fun Rob, you deserved a little time away.
