August 21-22, 2009. Days 33-34 Ottawa Canada.




On August 21st, we traveled to Ottawa Canada from Watertown NY. The Canadian Border Patrol was very interested in our trip. He asked all kinds of questions and wanted to see our maps and even asked if he could come with us. He was friendly and very funny. It was a beautiful drive through NY into Canada through the Thousand Islands region. After setting up camp we drove downtown to the Ottawa Parliament Building. Ottawa is the Capitol of Canada. We walked along the grounds and then took the guided tour of the building. This was easily the largest capitol complex we had seen so far with beautiful grounds and the building was built on the highest point in town on a cliff overlooking the Ottawa River. It was very impressive. Since we had been to a Hard Rock before we found the Ottawa Hard Rock and ate dinner there. Kathleen has started collecting shirts from Hard Rock. On the 22nd we left to go back to see more of Ottawa but had to stop at Staples to fax some docs. Kevin had been starting to feel sick and by the time we had done the fax he felt so bad that was all he could do. We went back to the RV and spent the day there. Kathleen went to a grocery store to restock us so the day wasn’t a total loss.
