In Ottawa

I’m in Ottawa, Canada, mildly jet-lagged and severely sleep-deprived. I was going to post some photos and commentary, but tonight it ain’t happening.
First thing tomorrow (Monday) morning I go to the Libyan embassy to pick up my passport. I had to send it to them along with my visa application. Word has it I won’t get the visa right now because all of a sudden they need several more weeks to process the paperwork. Sigh. But who knows? They’ve told me contradictory things on the phone before. I guess I’ll find out for sure soon enough. Either way, I’m going to Libya. I’ll go later this week if I’m lucky, or else I’ll go in the Fall.
In any case, Shelly and I leave for Italy on Wednesday, and then we’re off to Tunisia and the mighty Sahara on Friday. (Should be nice and warm this time of year.) I can’t (or won’t) blog from Libya, but I can and will from Tunisia.
Too tired for now. More soon…
