Short day on the canal to Hartwells lock. Here we tie up and explore part of the city on foot. The Indonesian Embassy is putting on a exhibition of culture, fashion, and food. We arrive just as it's ending.

| Pavilion for the Indonesian festival |
Then on to the Asian Night Market in the Little China section of Ottawa. It's an ecclectic mix of food and dance on the street from Nepal, China, India, Vietnam, Mexico (yes, really!), Indonesia, and the Philippines. Very crowded at times, with sights and sounds of many languages.
We find our way to the Heart and Crown in a brief thunderstorm, where starting at 10pm is a live band playing a mix of country and rock. We enjoy dancing the evening away.
