Forgot to mention the very first part of our trip !

My son and I went to The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, they were having a showing of Art from Papal Rome, Renaissance Italian Art ,it was arranged chronological by Pope from 1483 to 1609.
We saw rare works of art by Michelangelo, Greco,Vasari,Boroca, Raphael and Carracci and many others.
It was wonderful to wander from room to room viewing these masterpieces !!
I got my quota of culture on this trip !!!
So sorry about the tiny pictures of the gallery and paintings I had to download them from the internet because as all of you know your not allowed to take pics in any art gallery.



The first week we spent with my daughter in Ottawa, I enjoyed that so much ...
I get to spend quality one on one time with her,she makes me laugh like no one else can,I always said~~~~ she was my sunshine !!!

We went to the markets quite a bit, did some shopping, I even went to work with my daughter one day !

Boy was I hungary when I finished reading your blog. The photos of them are great. Nothing like bright shiny clean vegetables to make folks want to buy. The flowers are great too. I believe you had a great time.

What a beautiful market! I'll bet that was a fun trip through there.

Are you feeling a little more settled since returning?

I wish there was a beautiful outdoor market like that close by. Looks like such a wonderful way to buy your produce!

I'm finally having time to sit down and do some visiting! I've just read your previous post as well as this one and all I can say is that you sure did have a wonderful trip:-) I haven't been to Ottawa or Quebec since 1975 so I really need to get back there. Seeing your beautiful pictures makes me want to go back even more!! Glad you were able to go to Manitoulin Island as well, I love it there. How very sad your husband's nephew passed away, he was so young but had lived a lifetime already, hadn't he! xoxo
