University Bound

Shoppers Doorway

Labour Day weekend. The last long weekend of the summer. My daughter is starting her first year at the University of Ottawa. We drove out to Ottawa with a car packed to the brim with her stuff. We left Friday morning. Her check in time was Saturday morning and leaving 4 am to make it for the 9 am check was not appealing, so we left Friday. We made it to Ottawa in good time, checked into our hotel and went wandering around the city, checking out some of the sites and buying last minute necessities.

One of our stops was the Rideau Centre. We went to the Shoppers Drug Mart at the mall to get stuff like toothpaste and vitamins. When we were leaving, I found a 2011 dime by the exit door. Later, we went to the Byward Market. Wouldn't you know it that it started raining. Good thing we brought umbrellas. In front of the drug store on the corner of Clarence and Dalhousie, I found a US penny. Both of these coins were found on August 30. And how coincidental they were both found by drug stores.

Total find: 11¢ - 10¢ Canadian and 1¢ US.
