Wednesday morning we had good intentions - we planned on visiting the Parliament buildings and watching the Changing of the Guards.
Sounds easy enough - however, downtown Ottawa (Laurier Street) was under major construction due to this huge sink hole (picture borrowed from internet). Actually we found that most of downtown was under construction. The traffic was horrendous and the parking was worse. Anyway, we did do a lot of driving on this particular day.  
And we did see the Parliament Buildings as we drove by, but not the Changing of the Guards as we were too late. (This picture was also borrowed from the internet)  
We visited the Hogs Back Falls. They are located just north of Mooney's Bay where the Rideau Canal splits from the Rideau River.



Carole and Andre got home in the afternoon on Sunday from their week at the lake so we went out for a good-bye dinner.  We will be leaving tomorrow morning for Montreal.
