Ottawa Tourist Day

We really enjoyed our day in Ottawa. Started off with watching the changing of the guard, which we both felt looked like a lot of marching around back and forth and and forth and back...Then we enjoyed the tour of the Parliament Building, including a ride up to the top of the Peace Tower. We have a shot from the top, just below the clock. We walked over to the Governor General's residence as well as the PM's. Had a nice dinner at the Byward Market, with all of the other tourists and called it a night. Brent is really fascinated with the locks, and luckily, there weren't any more boats going through tonight, or we would still be there watching them. They take about 1 1/2 hours to go through the section at the start of the lock, and he really wanted to see them all go through. Not just for the engineering of the locks, but for the cool variety of boats going through.
