ottawa day 4- it isn't over yet

The day began well. This was the breakfast (sorry about the hand I was trying to take the pictures surreptitiously while the Europeans weren't watching). It was an excellent breakfast and sustained me through the day.
 I accidentally left my conference pass at the B&B and only discovered it when I arrived at the Shaw center so I had to go back. By that time it was too late for my session so I took a little walk around Ottawa. I wasn't sure if these were handles for the seats or bicycle  lock ups:
 I wasn't sure what this building was because it seemed old but had this huge loading dock door:
 Some other photos from the walk:











 Then there was a session on appreciative advising. Then there was lunch

 Then I went to a Pecha kucha, which was 5 short presentations with 20 slides advancing every 20 seconds (for each one). They were very well done
 After that there was a presentation from Waterloo's advising team on how they structured their advising. Then things were starting to wrap up and be disassembled at the shaw center

 We went to the Rideau center (the 4 of us who were taking the 5pm train) and had a snack. Then we took a high risk taxi to the Ottawa train station:


 Then onto the train
Everything seemed to be going well but it appears that someone committed suicide in front of the train and so we are stopped waiting for the coroner. There are kids playing soccer nearby who appear unaffected. They are serving pretzels so we may be here for a while.
