Back in 2023 shortly after moving back from France, my wife and I went on vacation to our nations capital, Ottawa Ontario Canada. We had been used to traveling extensively while living in Europe and we decided to try and keep that sense of adventure and excitement alive upon our return. The problem is that Ontario Canada doesn't have a whole lot to offer us in terms of traveling. We both grew up here and/or spent the better part of our lives in the province, so we have pretty much seen all that there is to see, many times over. There also isn't a whole lot to begin with, so it doesn't take long to see all of the highlights.

I was lucky enough to visit on December 31, 2025—a date that holds no particular significance in Buddhism, but because it’s a time of great spiritual energy for many of the tourists visiting Wat Arun, the temple decided to host a free meal. It consisted of rice, soup, and sausages, along with various desserts. There weren’t too many—just two sweet treats whose names I don’t know and some fruit. But, let’s face it, it was a tremendous abundance, free and open to people of all religions.

In the photos below you can see the HOUSE OF MENANDER, also known as Casa del Menandro. It is one of the largest and best-preserved houses in Pompeii. The House of Menander belonged to a very wealthy family. It had both a representative and a private section. Rich decorations and everyday objects were found there. Today, we would say that it was not an ordinary house — it was a residence or a villa.
