The Wall, Downtown Ottawa, On

Nancy found a really nice Tilley hat to keep the sun off her face.

Beautiful morning today. Dow's Lake very calm. Had breakfast on the back of the boat, then went for a pump out and fuel fill-up, but fuel pump wasn't working, so just a pumpout. The young man did call later to say the repair man had come and we could now fuel up; we will stop there tomorrow am.

Heading uptown on the canal.

Nancy has been wanting to try Poutine - not a food they see in Florida

Waiting for our tour of the Parliament Buildings

As we came uptown, lots of people on the bike paths running, skateboarding, biking. Tied up along the wall not far from the Rideau Centre. Walked up to the war memorial, then to the Parliament buildings. Wayne and I have not toured the Parliament building since we were in school many years ago, so we learned a lot. Got lunch at an Irish pub in the market, then spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the market, picked up some fresh fruit and vegetables. Nice place to sit here watching all of the people go by. Light dinner on the boat. There is a sound and light show on Parliament hill, but we may be in bed by that time.
