First, the defeat. Someone stole the kitty for our work charity chocolate store. We found it emptied in a back office. Needless to say I was… displeased. I wont go into it further - we don’t know who did it. But I am incredibly disappointed.
Now the wedding victory. While staying at our FAVOURITE bed and breakfast (Le Petit Prince in Montreal) we were chatting with the manager and owner, Rob, about a search we were undertaking for a particular wedding favor that could only be found at a particular store. We had already emptied EVERY store in Ottawa of this favor and we were trying to hit up the ones in Montreal as well. When we mentioned this he immediate offered his services - he would check all of the stores that we could not and arrange to get any he found back to Ottawa for us! Talk about service! We loved Le Petit Prince before, but the deal is now officially sealed - it’s the best damn place in the world.
Finally: Geocaching. Armed with the location of a cache close near the bed and breakfast we treked out in the cold in an attempt to find it. It was a difficulty one cache (easy) and we found it in short order! Tonight (in an effort to cheer myself up) we went searching for some caches near my house. We found one on our street (difficulty two and a half) as well as one near the school adjacent to our street (a difficulty two as I recall). Considering it was dark and we still don’t know what we’re doing I think that has to count as a victory!

We have real problems with cleaners in our office. We’ve had SIM cards go missing and subsequently used to make long calls to Brazil. The thing that annoys most people though is that they eat people’s food.
But yay about Le Petit Prince.

How much geocaching sites are there in Ottawa? Are you enjoying it? I’ve heard about it, and thought it sounded cool!

There are quite a few - we’ll be busy for awhile. We’re really enjoying it so far!
