July 6 - Quebec City to Ottowa

7/8/2017

 
This morning, we departed for Ottawa, the beautiful and cosmopolitan capital city of Canada. It was a long bus ride, fortunately punctuated with ample rest stops and lunch.  Mid morning the AC on our bus quit working.  Since it wasn't too warm, we proceeded to our lunch stop where our bus driver Pierre made a quick repair and we were off again.

When we arrived we embarked on a city tour showcasing the Rideau Canal (in winter the world’s largest skating rink) and the Parliament buildings.

Later we strolled through the Byward Market, known for its fruits, vegetables, flowers, and arts & crafts.  Our Program Manager Ricardo treated us all to a "Beaver Tail", a local fried dough treat covered with cinnamon sugar - delicious!

This is short and sweet today - more later...

Love those Beaver Tails!
