45km on a broken foot

Girl on couch: Why are you limping?
Juicepig: I walked alot while I was in Ottawa, i hurt my leg.
GOC: You shouldn't be limping, it implies that there is something wrong with one leg that isn't wrong with the other. Did you hop on one leg?
JP: no. My foot is in alot of pain, I figure it's broken
GOC: here let me see..

* CRACK CRACK * SCREAM *

GOC: Yup its broken. Stop limping, it will just heal weird.

Awesome trip to Ottawa, saw some interesting sites, and best of all got free board with an open fridge policy (which I gladly abused). 2 new favorites I found were a portagers trail along the ottawa river in quebec, and "The acid tower" which is the ruins of an old fertilizer factory out in the gatineau hills. I brought Will along with me for that one, and it blew his frickin' mind.

I got to see some friends while I was in the O-dot too. One of them invited me to come stay in Manhattan with them for the remainder of my vacation. I am afraid of new york for very non-obvious reasons, but I somewhat regret not going. That would have kicked ass! Instead I opted to stay in ottawa and hunt down tupperware containers... hmm....

The rest of my 7 days were kind of a blur.. mostly because of the blinding pain or walking around with a broken foot. My dad told me that it sounded like my arches had fallen, and that I should grab my toes and ankle and then wring my foot out like a towel. That seems to have helped quite a bit!
