Our last day in Ottawa

We had another busy day in Ottawa today.

We walked down the Rideau Canal (about 4 km) to Dow Lake.

We had lunch at Malone's at Dow Lake.
Here's the view from the restaurant.
 

Gord and I at Malone's for lunch.

Gord loves hats!
This was a statue on the way back up the Canal.

Then we went to see a AAA ball game ... the Ottawa Lynx (Baltimore's farm team) beat Scranton. We had great seats!

After the game, we hit a couple pubs in the area where our hotel is.

Ottawa, ON

We had a busy day today!

We ran into the changing of the guard
just south of the Parliament Buildings.

We took a 90 minute cruise on the Ottawa River on the Paula D.

The boat went really close to Rideau Falls

Really really close!

After the cruise, we had a late lunch at Fat Tuesdays ... very yummy! Then we went on a tour (inside and out) of the Parliament Buildings.

We did a pub crawl this evening with a local company called the Naughty Ottawa Pub Crawl around ByWard Market. Though the guide told some interesting stories about the area, it wasn't a great tour (we did some great pub walks in London two years ago). We ended the evening having very tasty wings at Pier 21.

Hello, Ottawa!

We left Mont Tremblant this morning and headed for Ottawa where we'll spend a couple days.

We are staying in a suite hotel just outside the downtown core. It's nice ... a one bedroom suite with a full kitchen.

We had lunch at a pub around the corner from the hotel, the Fox & Feather. Then picked up some groceries for breakfasts.

We headed out again ... here's Gord by the Parliament Buildings.

Then we went to the ByWard Market, a really cool area with tons of restaurants, vendors, markets, etc.

Here's Gord at the Black Thorn Cafe.

There's me (sitting to the right) at the Heart and Crown.
The fish 'n chips meal is HUGE!!

We had a drink at the Aulde Dubliner
