Took us a while, but we finally decided on Ottawa! It was a nice trip, 3 days 2 nights.
We stayed at the Best Western, and toured around the city: Parliment, RCMP Stables, Museum of Civilization, Royal Mint. And Matt has now officially been in Quebec.
We missed the tours for Parliment, but got to see a little bit still.
Our awesome Best Western room, complete with
a really sweet bottle of wine from the staff. Random
pamphlets for various sites, and me combing my
hair before we set out for the day.
Random beaver we saw on the boulevard. Just down
the road was a whole bunch more. Our nation's
symbol in our nation's captial. A neat view of
Parliment and the Peace Tower. Neat random Canada
buildling, on the Quebec side.
The Museum of Civilization. Matt has now officially
been in Quebec. A view underneath a waterfall.
Cute wildlife and views of the Art Gallery across
the river, from the museum cafeteria.
Neat cathedral. Spider sculpture in front of
the Art Gallery.
RCMP Stables! A room full of history. The indoor
training ring. Name plates of the horses. Horses!
A pic of me with Dawn - a horse I met on my
last trip, it was good to see her again. Finishing
with seeing a training class tacking up and
heading off.
A nice look out spot. A view of two rivers
in the area. Mostly a view of Quebec, including
a very tall fountain.
24 Sussex Dr. Parliment and the Peace Tower.
The Memorial Chamber inside Parliment, at the
bottom of the Peace Tower - which unfortunately
was closed that day, and there were no spots
left on any English tours.
After Parliment we visited the Royal Mint,
but no pics allowed. Then we walked over to
the Mall, passing City Hall and a lovely park
on the way. Also a random passing hotair balloon.
We finished the day with a lovely dinner at
Maxwell's Bistro. Lovely restaurant.
