Ottawa. . . .again

Warren & I went to the Nations Capitol again, Ottawa. Every time we travel we have amazing things happen. Even though we were in town to go to Cirque Du Soleil it also happened to be the first day of changing the guard at Parliament (the military with fuzzy hats,) we happened to be at the Supreme Court when a tour was going, with only us as tourists, & it was Ottawa's Rib Fest.

The first photo is me during the changing of the guard. It was awesome. They had a military band with pipes & drums, and regular band with french horns etc. They also had 3 groups of about 20 military personnel each who guard the Parliament buildings & residences of the Prime Minister Governor General. They have a season where they do this hour long event every day at 10am. They March up the street from the Governor's residence to Parliament Hill in full regalia & do a military changing of the guard which was spectacular.

2nd photo is of the Supreme Court of Canada. Read about our Supreme Court visit above.

3rd photo is Warren lining up for a rack of ribs. They were yummy!!! We had some from Kentucky!! And yes the people serving were from Kentucky & had Kentucky accents. THe Rib Fest with several competing Ribs makers go in competitions similar to Australia's Royal Easter Show competitions. They go around the country for a few days in each town with their Rib Fest.
