Thursday morning, leave Toronto.

We drove to Ottawa and stayed at the Lord Elgin hotel which is downtown.  So downtown that we opted for Valet parking.

room is traditional with a tulip theme.

You are offered a $5 incentive  to spend in the hotel if you decline housekeeping.  Since we were only staying overnight, we didn’t use it.

The view from our hotel room.

We walked by the Rideau Canal.

Oscar Peterson statue on the way to the National Gallery.

 

This is a big memorial piece, you walk through it.

Outside the National Gallery, free on Thursdays evening.

The Maman sculpture is outside the museum.

There is an inside terrace which is actually considered artwork so I snuck a photo.

Overlooking the terrace

After this closed, we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Byward Market  .

Friday morning at  Staples and then to a print shop.

  

 

Off to make a delivery.

Japanese sushi lunch in Chinatown.

This is a view of the gate from inside the restaurant.

Processed our visas at the Vietnamese Embassy.  They were very fast, 1/2 hour. Cash only.

Stopped for gas in Port Colbourne and Greek dinner.

 

Stopped by  Bowmanville, watched a hockey game where S.B.’s son played.  Unfortunately they lost.

Home, Friday night.
