Outside of the NAC (National Arts Centre)
... there is always music playing
by this piano man
(speakers above not pictured)...
Entering the beautiful part of Ottawa...
I live about a 15 to 20 minute walk from this...
My first real library job
was about a mile down the street from here...
and was part of my falling in love with Ottawa...
The Chateau Laurier.
Beautifully kept up and very good food
and high tea.
Also quite costly so only a place I visit to look
at their historical photographs;
years ago when I had a good job and did not take a vacation
I went there with a friend who came to visit me
for high tea.
It was really lovely.
One of the hallways there...
Picture taken from an enclosed crosswalk
looking towards the Parliament buildings,
the Chateau being in the right hand corner...
Beautiful photos! Such a beautiful place! I hope and pray that someday I get to visit Canada and meet you in person dear Elizabeth! May you have a Blessed Christmas!!! Christ is born, Glorify Him!!!!!

ReplyDeleteOne summer when our air conditioning wasn't able to keep up with the intense heat here, we looked on a map to see which Canadian city was nearest us. It was Ottawa, and we fled there. We loved everything about it, and spent 4 wonderful days. Hope to come back again.
