Ottawa the beautiful-
                in the province of Ontario . . .   in Canada
    at night it is a magical fantasy land      and even during the day . . .
I grew up in this town and I love it      the Parliament buildings are breathtaking
Neo-Gothic surrounds a grass courtyard used everyday by citizens from dawn
     and into the night with sounds and light shows          music and words
             projected onto Parliament . . . the center of Ottawa is a mingling of 
grand Victorian and modern the result is quite stunning

                     we have a place called the Byward Market 
where farmers and craft people sell each day and at night it is a gathering of
    restaurants and clubs . . .     
the historic Rideau Canal is full of boats in the summer . . .     skaters in
the winter   considered the longest skating rink in the world and on each side
  it is park lined   there are areas of the city quite ethnic like Little 
Italy   Chinatown . . any kind of museum            I love the 
National Art  Gallery of Canada     tons of festivals  and performing arts

nature can be found in our many wild parks lush and green and with snow
covered paths in the winter      if you want white water rafting we have it
      horse back riding   fairs  you name it      we have places you will love . . .
just walk around old neighborhoods    it so inspiring to see the homes in 
many parts of Ottawa . . .  this is a town that I love    
                                         and I know you would love it too . . .
Whenever,  I have to leave I hold Ottawa in my heart until I return.
