The Travels of Flat Stanley

[NJFlatStanley]

Have you ever spent time under a big hotel and conference centre? Well, now I have!

[NJFlatStanley]

The next day, Monday, Barb and I went exploring.
First, we checked the weather outside our hotel room.

[NJFlatStanley]

Then I hopped into the backpack.

[NJFlatStanley]

We stopped at the big, old church, Notre Dame.
And I tried to knock on a door at a very old house, but there was no doorknob!

[NJFlatStanley]

At Jacques Cartier Square in the centre of Old Montreal (all the tourists go there!) we saw the calèches (carriages) and some beautiful trees.
And I finally got my bike ride!

[NJFlatStanley]

Then we had to drive back to Ottawa. I took a nap.

[NJFlatStanley]

Back in Ottawa, we took a walk on Victoria Island, in the middle of the Ottawa River. From there you have a great view of the Parliament Buildings, the National Gallery, some other buildings and some bridges. It was windy so I had to be careful not to fall in!

[NJFlatStanley]

Victoria Island is native land, and every summer there is an exhibit called the Aboriginal Experience. They have many activities and once in a while, someone comes from the West Coast to carve a totem pole.

The island was the site of many old mills and electrical generating stations. These ruins are not safe anymore, but I jumped up on the fence.

We could just see the mighty Chaudière Falls under the bridges. They are not tall, but very powerful.

[NJFlatStanley]

Our last stop was at the Canadian War Museum. Every summer, the Ottawa BluesFest and some other festivals take place on the big lawn.

[NJFlatStanley]

And now I'm going to hop into my envelope and head back across the border to New Hampshire!
See you there!

He should be in New Hampshire in a few days.
It was a great visit.

I HATE it when Flat Stanley is off for the night.
This thread has me totally enrapt.

Maybe I should post pictures from my trip to the West coast next week... but Stanley won't be with me. I'll put them in the Photo Op thread.
