Visiting Ottawa, Canada's Capital City

We drove along the Rideau River
as we entered downtown Ottawa.

Hey!  They have 

pay phones here.

Dominion-Chalmers

United Church

The Canadian

Bank of Commerce

There are double-decker
buses here.

We bought postage paid post cards
at the Post Office.

The Postal Clerk hand stamped
 them with a special Ottawa stamp.

Ottawa Electric Building
is now Smith Books

D'Arcy McGee's Irish Pub
is on the first floor of 

this building.

East Block on Parliament Hill
houses Canada's Senators.

I love buildings with

doors located on the corner.

The dedicated bike lanes
are physically separated
from the car lanes.

Every city must have

a comic book store.

The mail boxes are
easy to find.

This wrap around porch

caught my eye...

I love the brightly
colored store fronts.






We found Ottawa to be very walkable.  There are lots of crosswalks and the drivers are alert to pedestrians.  I liked the wide variety of stores.  There's lots to keep visitors here.
