Bask In Historic Beauty
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.
