Ottawa, eh?

And the winner is Ottawa, Canada!  I will be headed there for a 2-year Econ assignment.  It was #9 on my list, which is relatively low for a 2nd tour bidder from CDJ, but it fits in a lot of ways and the longer I think about it, the better it sounds.  All of the rest of the posts that were in my top 10 were in Europe, so that’s where I was headed mentally.  So, as my GPS would say, I’m “recalculating, recalculating” from what I expected, but it will be a great opportunity to do Econ work in one of our largest trading partners and the city is very nice and, more importantly, SAFE.  Also, there’s an Apple store and an IKEA in Ottawa, so what more could you want? 😉
