ottawa highlights

The parliament is the most famous landmark in ottawa, but unfortunately they were closed for security purposes.  When we first arrived the weather was beautiful it was sunny, the water was shining, and the city is super clean.  We met with our surfer in the middle of nowhere,well Hull, a city 5 miles from downtown.
Enjoyed some wine and headed to Pub Italia-a church converted into a bar had a beer to chime in with the atmosphere and the I had a Muskoka summer weiss-light and refreshing. We sat and chatted about boys and traveling-fun time. Next day rainy/snowy weather=museums=)
