Today we awoke to dark cloudy skies. As we prepared to leave for Ottawa, we experienced a few showers. We hoped that the day would clear as we traveled, but no such luck. The first 30 - 40 miles of our trip was in a very populated area. After we got through that, we were back into open farm land with few little towns scattered along the way. Quite a nice drive. We arrived at the RV Park, south of Ottawa. As we were registering, the Park owner said that they weather is supposed to be a lot nicer tomorrow. After settling in, it began to rain on & off into the evening.

Finally, we awoke to clear skies. A great day to go into Ottawa. As in Toronto, there was a lot of construction in the downtown area. Ottawa sits on the South side of the Ottawa River. Quebec is on the North side of the River, Canada's Parliament sits on the shore, overlooking the river. Quite a pretty setting. There is a green belt that runs west of downtown, along the river. It has a walking, riding, jogging path along the river. The river is quite wide, but appears shallow, as there were several rapids. There are a lot of Apartment/Condo buildings in the downtown area, and also lots of shops and eating places as well. It's pretty obvious that a lot of people live & work in this area.
Tomorrow, we travel to Montreal.
