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 staff were courteous and helpful, particularly the young man at the desk on the evening we checked in -- and the young Cooper's server we met at breakfast today. The beds were very comfortable! The rooms were fairly clean, but I wish there had been a ventilation fan in the bathroom and a wider ...
