A
visit to Marlowe and Dima in Ottawa, Canada
You
may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a
good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught
up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go. Downtown
Ottawa, Ontario, 2004 
The Parliament
buildings in Canada's capital city, Ottawa, Ontario, home also of Carleton University,
where young Marlowe Peck is beginning her second year. She and Dima live in nearby
Nepean.

Hull
across the river in Québec --
Sorry --
Gatineau across the river in Québec.
The city's name was changed in 2002, or rather Hull got sucked into nearby Gatineau
in some DeLay sort of political rearrangement.
A
different kind of monumental architecture -- the US embassy with its distinctively
welcoming look.
The "Famous
Five" suffragette sculpture by Barbara Paterson (2000), celebrating the Persons
case of 1929, when Canada recognized that women were included in the constitutional
phrase "persons". The suffragette in the orange shirt is modern and
not part of the presentation.

-- Are
you coming, or not?
The National
Gallery of Canada, excellent. Thin but profound on 17th century Dutch masters,
so the rest is gravy.
Ne
manquez pas!
