There is nothing overly spiritual or deep about this post. Yesterday William and Kate arrived in Ottawa and a colleague and I walked the few blocks up to the war memorial to catch a glance. We arrived probably only 45 minutes before they were scheduled to arrive (at 2:30) and the place was packed. People had started arriving at 5 a.m. to get front row "seats". However, we did manage to find a little place with a surprisingly good view. I had no idea it would be so exciting to see them, but I was giddy. They drove up and waved from the car and everybody screamed. They got out and did their thing... our best view was of them coming back and getting in the car. I have a few okay pictures/videos that I will try to get up... I missed the best video, though I thought it was recording, it wasn't. But that's okay - what a fantastic memory that I will have for a long time.
