Procrastination

From Atlanta to Ottawa? Wow, huge change. Let’s just say it’s slightly colder in Ottawa;) Ottawa’s just a few hours away from Toronto - I visited a few summers ago.
There’s plenty to do in downtown Ottawa, particularly if you’re politically inclined.

I’m pretty sure Parliament is there.

I was there once in April and it was a frozen moonscape.

Ottawa is gonna be colder than here silly. I haven’t been there - it’s north of Toronto right? Hey that Flanstein guy is there - you know the guy who goes around muslim blogs leaving his spam…maybe pay him a visit ;-) Just kiddin’. Have a good time. Tell Amber hi for me too okay…and that cutie pie of yours…

If you are still in Ottawa it might be worth your while to visit Montreal and then Mont Tremblant.The latter is one of the most beautiful places I have been to.A great place for skiing if you are into that sort of a thing.

As a proud Canadian I would love to hear your thoughts on My country vis-a-vis yours.What did you like or dislike?Did you get to visit any mosques or Islamic centres?

What is there to do in Ottawa? The federal gov’t is situated there, so there’s the Parliament buildings as well as the Supreme Court of Canada, which is the highest court in Canada, and Rideau Hall, where the Governor General resides. It’s a great place for people interested in politics – like me!

There are some really cool museums if you’re into that sort of thing. There’s the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Canada and the World Pavilion which showcases Canada’s contributions to the world, the National Art Gallery and plenty more, but I can’t think of their names right now. A lot of the museums are situated very close to each other, so you can finish one and go into the next. Oh, and don’t forget the Royal Canadian Mint.

The Byward Market is a nice experience, what with the buskers and street performers and all. And there’s also Sparks Street, which is the place to go if you want souvenirs. The Rideau Canal, which is transformed into the world’s longest skating rink in the winter, may be of interesting to you if you can survive in the colder temperature long enough to watch it.

I’m not even sure it’s wise to come at this time of year. You’ll need a winter coat and hats and gloves and other warm stuff for the whole family. Can’t have a baby freezing. I think it’ll be too much of a change to go from Atlanta to Ottawa, or even Toronto for that matter, in the winter.

So are you already there? Take some nice pics and show us here… :)

awww…poor little thing. Well i hope you enjoy the trip…cold or not cold. Toronto cold really depends…some visits i said “aw, it’s not bad at all” and others i said “how can human life survive here” ;-) lol.

Ah, you lucky bugger! You get to see snow! I remain confined to oppressively warm and un-snow-bound Atlanta. Sigh.
