Travelog post for: Synapse

We decided to get a closer look at Parliament Hill.





Rideau Canal.  It was built in 1832 and it is the oldest continuously operated canal in North America.  The Governor General of Canada, the Queen's representative, lives in Rideau Hall, which also overlooks the canal.





Inside the Parliament buildings.







Look at all those books











A tribute to Queen Elizabeth II



The House of Commons, where the Cabinet meets to vote on bills







Rideau Canal again



A view of Ottawa





This plaque states that there are fifteen Canadian flags visible from that area.



The tower in 'Centre Block'



And the view from there



The next day I came home.  Before I was returned to Abby I thanked Beckie for being such a good host.

Now I am off to South Africa to visit MrsC!
