Ottawa Part1-ByWard Market

We drove over 250km and finally arrived in Ottawa! Our B&B is in Downtown and within walking distance to everything! Since I have been doing a lot of driving we decided to take it easy today. We just checked out the place called ByWard Market.

今日はオタワへ移動の日、250km以上は運転したかな。知らない道の運転は長く感じる!途中休憩をとり午後2:30くらいには到着。(←休憩と言うとマクドナルド!じじは日本でファーストフードなんて一切食べないから、こっちに来るとマクドナルド〜と提案をする。)

予約したB&Bはダウンタウンにあり、どこでも歩いて行ける便利な場所!チェックインした後に、今日はByWard Marketというとこだけ観光して、どこか美味しいレストランでディナー!



The rain started pouring down! We got soaked!!!

Algonquin Park Part3-Beaver Pond Trail & Lake of Two Rivers

Algonquin Park Part2-Logging Museum Trail

Algonquin Park Part1


We have arrived at Algonquin Park!


Before we hit some trails we need to get fuel! It turned out to be a pretty good burger place!


Along Highway 60, we saw 2 moose!

Dorset

We drove through this little town called Dorset on the way to Algonquin Park. There are probably 5 stores on Main Street. All you need is 5 minutes to see the entire town! Such a cute little place!

アルゴンキンパークに行く途中、小さな町のDorsetというところでひと休憩。ダウンタウンと言われているとこは5こくらいのお店しかなく、5分ほどで観光が終わってしまった(笑)。


We are the only Asian people here!


Waiting for a hot dog!


White vinegar on the left and red vinegar on the right. They are NOT Windex!


"Jiji, you get your own!"

Canoeing

Even though it was a bit windy I wanted to try canoeing. Since Raine and I had a bad canoe experience 3 years ago in Banff Raine wasn't keen to do it (with me!).

We got a life jacket on and a whistle to blow when we need help (I mean "flip over"!)! We are good to go!

今日は風が少しあるけど、ここまで来てカヌーをしないのはおかしい!と挑戦することに決定!3年前にバンフで怖い経験したのをまだ覚えてるらしく、レインはマミーとはやりたくない〜〜〜(涙)と。B&Bからライフジャケットと何かあった時にSOSを呼ぶための笛をもらい、いざ出発!


Mommy: We are going to have FUN!
Raine: ...


Oops! We dropped the whistle...


"Mommy, are you sure you want to come with me and Jiji? You can stay back and watch us if you want!"


"Yes, I am sure that I want to come!"


This is better! The boys are doing all the work!


Yes, we made it back!

We have finally arrived!


We have finally arrived at the B&B! I have to say this is the nicest and cleanest one ever! Staying here makes me want to do this business when I get older...

車でどれくらい走ったのだろうか。。。やっとB&Bに到着です☆三角のログハウスで絵に描いたようなきれいなお家。リタイヤしたらダニエルとこういうのやるのもいいよな〜。
