Our local guide/friend (a native of the city) took us for bagels. During this trip, the driver:

-Loaded a girl in the trunk portion of the SUV

-Drove the wrong way on a one way street

-Stopped the car in the middle of the road, got out, walked up to a building, whistled, and waited for a lady on the second floor to drop a LAUNDRY BASKET of folded clothes down to him

-Returned to his car with said laundry like this was how he got his laundry delivered every week and maybe that’s true

-Stopped to pick up his Girlfriend. She got in the trunk with the other girl like it was just another seat.

-Ignored multiple signs about road closures and cursed out his GPS in at least two languages, leading us to be forced onto the bridge that took us out of the city entirely

-Uttered the words “Want to see Ottawa? It’s an okay city.” And all of us considered dialling the American embassy to report we were being kidnapped.

-After a 3 hour trip, we were told the bagels we’d gotten weren’t very good; he’d take us to the real place tomorrow.
