This is the fourth post in a series. Jenna and I went to Ottawa for a weekend in the middle of October, finally–neither of us had yet been there, even after several years in Canada, and considering that Ottawa isn’t really that far away from Niagara. Jenna wanted to go to a conference on global health so it was a good excuse to go.

This picture shows the Ottawa River, as seen from underneath the monument of Queen Victoria outside the main building of Parliament. The large building to the left in the picture, on the edge of the bluff, is the supreme court. The right side of the river is Gatineau, Quebec.
