I’m hoping a mojito or two and some sunshine get rid of this cold I have because my twin and I are off to the Caribbean for a week!

I’m not the type who wishes to escape from winter weather…I personally love Ottawa winters, but it hasn’t been very cold this year. Winterlude, the annual festival of winter sports, culture, traditions and art in Ottawa is suffering from some rising temperatures this week — hopefully it will be able to get through this last weekend of February without totally melting. If you’re in Ottawa and the weather co-operates, check it out!
