Ottawa at Large

Wandering about Ottawa . . .

Today we set out to wander around Ottawa . . . with a sense of game day anticipation in the air.  Ottawa was quite obviously an American city for the day as everywhere we went we saw people wearing red, white, and blue.  We found a trail behind the government buildings that led to a lovely walk along the St. Lawrence where we climbed over some locks on the canal, checked out the outdoor exhibits at the National Gallery of Canada, and ended up at the high point checking out the views of Ottawa and Gatineau by the Champlain Statue.  We then wandered through the ByWard Market area until finding a pub, that was really like five pubs sharing the same building.  We also discovered that the pub complex had at least one set of washrooms for each member of our party.  After eating we did a little shopping in the open air stalls on our way back to the hotel to prep for the big game!
