July 25 - Ottawa







Went into downtown Ottawa. Did a walking tour of Parliament Hill with all its statuary and beautiful architectural buildings. Did a tour of the Center Block which is where our Senators, MPs, and PM conduct all of our political business. The paintings, furnishings and wall sculptures are quite remarkable, when you consider the ages of some of them. We took a city tour on an Amphibibus -had a terrific bi-lingual guide who gave us more info in one hour than we could have accummulated in days. We ended our great day at D'Arcy McGee's Irish Pub enjoying a meal of lamb shanks. Yummmm
