Day 12: Ottawa and the capitol of Canada
(Hey Kids! We got props from a Canadian for knowing the capitol of Canada!)
 |
Erica says she has been looking for these since she worked on cruise ships.
Apparently the English love these!
Apparently the English need to get better food.
Erica-Whatever these are quite tasty!!! |
 |
Swampland in Canada?
WTF? |
 |
Rocks, Trees, and an Empty Road.
Welcome to our drive from Toronto to Ottawa.
We saw a lot of this. |
 |
| More rock! |
 |
| The UK: It's closer than you think. |
 |
What the hell is this?
Something's closed and the Canucks want you to GUESS?
What the hell do I look like?
A mind reader? |
 |
| Water! |
 |
Algae and Water!
Or for those keeping score at home: Algae and H2O. |
 |
Apparently Canada didn't get the memo that as you move closer to the Arctic Circle,
the temperature is supposed to go DOWN! |
 |
| Ottawa: Where castles really exist. |
 |
| Just a cool little building. |
 |
| One of the many government buildings in Ottawa. |

The Canadian Parliament building.
The big clock tower is Peace Tower. |

She still rules Canada. |
 |
| One of the wings of Parliament. |
 |
| The main entry hall for Parliament. |
 |
Stain Glass Ceiling.
Apparently the various little designs represent the various subcommittees in Parliament when this was built. |
 |
| Dude, why does Canada's Parliament look like Hogwart's? |
 |
| Seriously! Why?! |
 |
If McDonald's were cool,
the arches would look like these. |
 |
| Here we have the haunted eyes of Parliament looking down upon us! |
 |
I studied Latin!

 |
| Welcome to the Mines of Moria. |
 |
| A Canadian! |
 |
| A Lion! |
 |
Is it just me,
or does this look like the exit for one of the lines at Disneyland? |
 |
This section honors the ANIMALS that died while building Parliament.
Seriously, Canadians are the nicest people ever! |
Below are pictures taken from Peace Tower's Viewing Room.
Rob and Erica were BOTH in it.
So Trevor, fuck you.

BBQ? In Canada.
Erica drove 3000 miles from Reno, NV
only to see the same damn BBQ truck! |
 |
| Is this sign really necessary? |
 |
A bottle a piece!
Getting ready to tie one on in the hotel room.
We be classy fuckers up in here!
