Familiarity is comforting

So ever since I came to Ottawa I've been feeling it is a bit too quiet for my taste, and I was surprised that cafes just close way too early! I don't like hanging out in bars, and so I was bummed out to see that cafes close around 5 or 6 pm! Only yesterday someone told me that such early closures is a temporary thing because of Covid, and something about highways being closed which is why the city is quieter than it usually is because many people don't make the trip... I have to say, this info was a bit of a relief, and I wish I would have come when it was all normal so I can really feel it, but it is good to know.

I am getting familiar with the city, but I still feel residual strangeness and weird feelings inside me...But then, I am usually not the best potato to adjust to change, so I am not surprised..
