Even though I know parts of Ottawa pretty well, it’s fun to do touristy things when I have free time. Things like…
Post-dinner walks along the canal:
Bike tour to see the tulips! [The guide reminded me a lot of Fred Armisen...woohoo!]
The man with two hats:
Tulips in an array of colours:
Slightly odd statue:
Dow’s Lake is a lovely place! I see myself spending many summer afternoons by its side.
After a nice morning with family in Westboro Beach, my roommate and I joined a Jane’s Walk called “Parliament’s Progress: a look towards the precinct of 2032″. The guide was super knowledgeable, so even though I wasn’t seeing anything new, it was enjoyable.
Walk ‘n learn, kids.
SIDEWALK OWL <3
I was hoping to do a couple more Jane’s walks, including a “foodie” tour of Hintonburg & a bike tour called “Ottawa’s Stolen Urban Waterfront” (intriguing title, no?) but I was pooped after a long week of work (well not really that long…but I’m comparing this to my life as an unemployed person with boatloads of free time). It was a very nice weekend nonetheless.
I was exhausted during my first few weeks of working full time. Also, the days seemed so. darn. long. They still do seem long, but I’m not as tired anymore
Beautiful photos! Wish we had buildings like that here 
Beautiful photos! I miss blue sky, haha.
