A trip to Ottawa











I spent two days in Ottawa last week.
On 29 June, we set off at 9:00 in the morning. When we got there, the first thing we did was visiting the Canadian Museum of Nature to see the dinosaur fossils, which are my daughter's favourite. Then we went to the hotel that we had booked on-line. It was already 5pm. We rushed to the National Gallery of Canada, because I knew there was an exhibition on Raphael. I hadn't seen a real painting of any of the greatest artist before, and I wanted my daughter to be exposed to the arts. Unfortunately, it was too late to enter. Furthermore, my daughter refused to take the bus, so we couldn't visit the Rideau Hall (the GG's residence). That's too bad, but maybe it will be a good reason for another visit to Ottawa. Everything went well the next day. We watched the changing of the guard on Parliament Hill, walked along the Ottawa River and crossed it, and visited the Canadian Museum of Civilization. The museum is wonderful. I would like to recommend it to everybody.
Ottawa is a beautiful city, and the people are nice. They gave us a lot of help: keeping patient when we asked questions using our poor English, helping us to find our way, chasing us to return my daughter's shoe which we had lost 200 meters away , and so on.
I enjoyed the trip. I will remember those two days forever.
