Ottawa
We visited the Byward markets across the road from the apartment. Lots of activity on a sunny, Saturday morning.
Richard and Piers took us to a National Park today on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, Gatineau Park, about 20 minutes from Ottawa. We stopped at the small village of Chelsea for lunch.
Clear wide trails, which double from November to February as cross country runs. There are downhill slopes as well, where skiers can come after work in winter as it is so close to the city. Many lakes and hiking trails to choose from.
No bears today but just the prospect made it an exciting walk. Colourful fungi and Canadian geese had to suffice.
We walked around part of Pink Lake, which is a pristine, protected area.
We drove around Meech Lake, where there are many beautiful homes with pontoons, several beaches and lots of activity today as it is Labor Day weekend.
