Rainer a few times and it is a very beautiful sight, but I don't think it is more than five occasions. And I have been to Seattle / Bellevue a few times. I had actually never heard of Chihuly Garden. Maybe should give it a try next time. I will have some free hours to check it out. |

Well, I didn't remember that, but the name Assiniboine is not a native name associated with Ottawa. Anything with that name is going to be out on the prairies: Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or Alberta. I chose what I thought would be the most likely city from those provinces. -- Dan Tilque |
