After a 2007 conference in Rochester, NY, I took an overnight trip up to Ottawa, Canada's capital city, one of the few major cities in Canada I hadn't been to before. I only had a half day for sightseeing, and had rain and overcast skies the whole time I was there, so I didn't get the kind of sunny day pictures I like.
