Skate on the world's largest ice rink. Every year at this time, Gatineau and Ottawa host a shared event called Winterlude. It's a festival that I've gone to since I was a little girl. It's a lot of fun for the whole family. All the events are free of charge and the festival snow bus is also free that takes you to different locations where events are being hosted and run about every 15 minutes. You can expect music, sledding, tubing, ice skating on the Rideau Canal, original snow taffy made with real maple syrup, ice sculptures, free hot chocolate, coffee at some locations, and so much more. I highly recommend if you are in the area. #Winterlude #Quebec #Ontario #Gatineau #Ottawa #tourism #Thingstodo #Festival #NationsCapital
Lightly seared tuna with cannellini beans and a six minute egg was the best thing I've eaten in Ottawa, to date. Love Town, on Elgin #Delicious Photo Challenge

The hotel location was good! However I was with my two teenagers and they had to see all the people around the hotel drunk, smoking and throw all the garbages and ashes right beside the hotel. I hope somehow the hotel and the bar collaborate to clean around the hotel everyday.
