Recent trip to Ottawa

My apologies for not posting recent photos - I have been so busy at work, plus we lost one of our cameras with pictures:). Anyway, here are some photos from recent trip to Ottawa. The weather was beautiful!! We love this city!. It is much different from Toronto in many ways. It is much quiter, more peaceful, and has some spectacular landscapes. There is a Parliament building, which overlooks the river. The Canadian Government, including the  prime minister resides in Ottawa. Sadly we did not get a chance to meet with him this time. :) But we waved to him from the outside....
