Yesterday we visited the Diefenbunker in Carp, just west of Ottawa, brought back a lot of memories of all the talk of nuclear attack from decades ago. Then we went into Ottawa and Denis visited the Aviation Museum while I walked around downtown. I saw the changing of the guard at Rideau Hall and also walked around the beautiful grounds. Also went to Byward Market and Rideau Falls. I walked past 24 Sussex Drive but I guess the Harpers weren't accepting callers because the gates were tightly closed.
This morning we said good-bye to Ottawa, heading south and east through Kemptville, Chesterville and Cornwall. We stumbled across a Winery/Christmas tree farm, very unique and after a generous tasting, we came away with a few bottles. Travelling east from there we crossed into Quebec and stopped at the first tourist info stop and picked up some additional information. We crossed the St. Lawrence and are camped at St. Phillipe, south of Montreal. Now we are trying to figure out what we can fit in the next few days, I hear there are 37 km of underground shopping, guess what I'm doing if it rains?
Only 4 more provinces to go! |
