July 17 - 20 Ottawa

We spent 4 very enjoyable days in Ottawa staying at my cousin Gerry's.

The parliment buildings and the Rideau Canal

While were were there in addition to the changing of the guard there was also the changing of the Army commander.

We toured the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau which recently added this reconstruction of the Wildcat Cafe from Yellowknife. 

Of course we had to stay in town to watch the light show on the Parliament Buildings

We rode our bikes up the Rideau River, across to Gatineau, the back across to Ottawa and down the Rideau Canal. During the ride we stopped at Rideau Hall for a lunch break on the grounds.
