June 20 Saturday 2009 Ottawa
Today we go grocery shopping and fuel up. Bill does laundry and I play on the computer. What a life. Cloudy but no rain. We get ready to leave for Quebec city tomorrow. Looking Back what I would have done different so far- in Niagara Falls I wish I would of gone up the sky tower(Skylon) to take pictures of the falls. One thing I found confusing was that ones sense of direction was off as isn't Canada supposed to be North of the USA ???? Here it is West. In Ottawa I would recommend to be here no earlier than July 1 as the changing of the guards on parliament Hill do not start until then. It's a good thing we saw that when we came in 2006. For some reason we did not go to Montreal ( just another big city Bill said) I would have at least taken a city bus tour as we were so close. Oh well I can't win them all.

June 19 Friday- Ottawa 2009
cloudy in the morning but sunny after. We drive to a park and ride very close to the park. We take rapid transport into town only $3 each. We get off close to the parliament building. Bill goes to the War Museum and I do the Peace Tower on the Hill. One has to go through a personal search like at an airport. I forgot I had my hiking back pack and had a pair of scissors. They were taken away and I got to retrieve them after my tours. Wouldn't you know it my batteries are dead. Thankfully I got to take pictures at the top of tower. I get my free ticket for parliament tour I go at 1:15. In the meanwhile I walk to the market place very much like our Grandville Island. We meet in front of Tim Hortins at 4pm, and return to the RV park exhausted.
