Parliament @ Ottawa City

My aunt, together with my grandparents showed me around Ottawa City last Thursday. Ottawa is around an hour drive away from Cornwall (where my aunt lives), and Cornwall is around 4 and a half hours from Toronto (where my other aunt lives). So I've travelled from Vancouver, to Toronto, to Missassauga, to Cornwall, and then to Ottawa, in just one week. But it's all worth it. This is probably one of the best vacations I've had so far.

One of the places we visited in Ottawa City is the Parliament Hill. This is where the prime minister, the congress, etc meet up to discuss government issues, laws, etc. They also offer a free tour, which we did take and it was interesting how they actually built the parliament. Much of the building itself has history embedded in it. Anyway, here's a nice view from outside:

And here's another picture, it's a view from the top most tower of the Parliament.

Sheesh, it's just so beautiful here.
