A Sunny Weekend

This past weekend I went downtown Ottawa to the Byward Market. It was a very sunny day but luckily the humidity didn't return and we had a nice breeze. Our main reason for going downtown was so that Will could get a tattoo (Cheryl's pick). So after a few price quotes they decided on a dragon on the right shoulder blade. We had about 3 hours to wait so we went towards the market and took some pics of summer. We saw a few buskers doing their thing. This one was neat to watch with his "hula hoop". We also saw lots of flower stalls with all sorts of different types of flowers and plants. We picked up a few fresh veggies and fruits, some we ate while we were there, well some I ate. We even had to make a stop at the candy store for a few treats. In the market we also saw some artists creating some pieces using on chalk along the sidewalk. The picture I have is of a Picasso art not sure which one but looked nice and colourful. They have a lot of time on their hands and patience. I'm sure it'll look good when it is finished and all it takes is one rain fall to have it go and allow them to start again. Before heading back to the tattoo place we stopped to get an ice cream and while walking back we came across a "parade" if you could call it that. It was mainly a bunch of people (males and females) on bicycles riding through the city NAKED! I was a little unsure of the point of it but hey it's not me so it was interesting to see. They did have police escorts as well which was funny to see.

Finally we get back for his tattoo and it only took about 45 min. He was in a lot of pain, at least it looked that way. It turned out really good but to me it looked really big nothing I would ever get but he liked it and was very happy with it.
