Ottawa

Ottawa is a huge city, but its got that small town feel as well, especially in the market.
The market wasen't in full operation its a bit early yet,its one of my favorite places to go see and experience,I love getting a cold drink and sit in one of the outdoor cafe's and watch the shoppers go by.
I really enjoyed my week there with my daughter and my son,after breaking my arm recently I needed the getaway,I can feel my normal coming back now.
This time my daughter took extra time off and took me to Messina to shop,yup I was in the good old USA for all of 4-5 hours.Its about 2 hours from Ottawa by Cornwall way.
We love going to a few stores there and ending with a trip to a grocery store,I cannot beleive the variety they get that we dont.... why do you American's get such a huge variety of everything to compare to us??
We filled up the car with goodies and because it was mostly grocery items we bought we didn't have to pay duty.
We eat out every night internationally I just love that... and no dishes !!(( Best part))
Ottawa is a gorgeous city well worth the visit with its museums and different places of interest.
I didn't take these pictures myself but I wanted you to see a little bit of what I am talking about.
Have you ever been there???


PS ... Its going to be a rainy week you know what that means????
The snow is going .... going... not gone yet but at least there is hope now....by the way not a speck of it in Ottawa I was in a tshirt all week,coming home to piles of it was not easy after such a sunny warm week....

Happy Easter !!

I hope each of you has a wonderful Easter with your family.I am going to visit my daughter for a week,I can't wait to escape my winter wonderland for greener pastures.
Take care
Diane
