Before we hit the road back to Toronto, we had to intake on last breakfast at Broadway. This location is also in Orleans. Go figure, Orleans has 2 locations and Toronto has 0.
Ottawa
With it being the bicentennial of the war of 1812 we have been seeing/hearing a lot of this sort of advertising. Living near Fort York in Toronto we can’t get away from it.
We earlier had a great view of the Ottawa locks for from Rideau Street. Now we have a view from down below, alongside the locks. At this point there are some boat making their way up the locks system from the Ottawa River up to the Rideau Canal. Its appears to be a long process.
These are the gear system that is manually used to open and close each lock. It takes to individuals on each side (appears to be a great summer student gig) to get the job done.
And here is a couple of guys hard at work.
A closeup shot of the ‘Peace Tower’ on Parliament Hill.
No trip to Ottawa is complete without a visit to Parliament hill. Being the week after the Canada Day long weekend the grass was looking a little rough but still a great view.
Across the street (Rideau street / Wellington street) you will find a statue of Terry Fox. Still one of the greatest Canadians to walk or run the grounds of this country.
In order to get from the Ottawa River onto the Rideau Canal (or the other way around), one most take the trip through the locks. Always a great view from the bridge on Rideau Street. Parliament hill is off to the left.
We have been waiting a LONG time for this moment. Back in Ottawa and ready to hit one of our favourite breakfast spots – Broadway’s Bar and Grill. This location is in Orleans (suburb of Ottawa).
The “TAKE 2” breakfast is just the order for anyone that is a breakfast fan (who isn’t).
