Back in Canada. Found a pleasant place to live, in Ottawa with the Rideau River right in our backyard and surrounded by trees - the closest to nature we could find while still in the city. Experiencing so many wild places while traveling reaffirmed for both of us our need to be closer to nature. Re-opened my practice there, and Carr went back to work downtown. In the end what brought us back was our connection to family (especially my new granddaughter!) and friends, not to mention wanting to start making a living again.
