16 July 2013  - Tuesday.     Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Our first adventure in Ottawa was locking through 8 consecutive locks to get from the Ottawa River up to the Rideau Canal.  Quite an experience with an audience too!  The Locks are next to Parliament so there where quite a few tourists..

Lock 1 of 8

The City wall was full but 2 smaller boats backed up to make room for us on the end – the very last spot!  We tied, up took the Girls for a walk and then went exploring with our friends on “In My Element” , Bob and Debbie Smith (Element).We found the outdoor “Market” and more importantly a Pub, The Brig.  It was hotter here than in Houston today.  

Tied up on the Wall

“Element “ joined us for dinner at a Thai Restaurant.  We had Shrimp Curry with Pineapple which is our favorite and it was terrific.  After dinner, the 4 of us went to the Light Show at the Parliament Building.
