Ottawa

[Drac]

A few more from Ottawa. First we continue on the food line. I give direction via food and rate travel by meals.

In one of the many meat shops. Quite a selection of charcuterie -


One of the many pastry places. This one is evidently is one Obama visited -



Now those are some cool fries -


I've never seen so many Irish Pubs even in Boston -






Outside the sidewalk of the last one -



More coming

The Rideau Canal. My wife, Amy, skated on it as a kid. The also they have ice sculptures on the banks for what Amy says -





On to Parliament!!


The Centennial Flame outside -


On the tour a stop to admire the monarch's paintings. Amy believes this Elizabeth one is the original that survived the fire -


The Senate -


The symbols represent the people of Canada -


Let's see if you can guess which one is the Monarch's -


A painting in the Senate room that caught my eye for some reason -

Up to the Peace Tower.

A stop in the Memorial Chamber of course -


The Altar -


One of the many plaques around the room -


One of 5 books that list those who have given the last full measure -


A close up of another -


I found these books very moving. The pages turn each day through all the names.

Plaque outside the room -
