Lunchtime in the Sparks downtown pedestrian mall.

Sparks Pedestrian Mall in downtown Ottawa--near Bank Street (banking) and
Parliament.

Three musicians from Peru playing
Andian music for the lunch time crowds at the mall.

The Lebanese restaurant we stopped for lunch.

The first bus behind Walter is an
amphibious tourist bus while the one behind is a double
decker bus.

This poster was all over the downtown area. A few days later, we saw a group gathering for picketing against Bush.

In one of the nearby downtown neighborhoods, we came across the Embassy of Iraq.

This canal runs through one part of the downtown. On both sides of the canal are pedestrian and biking paths.

See the teeny tiny
Mercedes Benz. A very economical Benz, but not sold in the U.S.

One of two guards at the War Monument in Confederate Square. These two guards were standing so very still that at first we thought they were statues.

This War Monument was commissioned in 1925 by a international design competition. An Englishman Vernon March won the competition. It was originally designed to
commemorate the World War I soldiers. It was finished four months before the start of World War II. The Korean War has also been added. In the front of the monument is sober tomb for the unknown soldiers.

These statues are on the top of the monument.

Here, World War I soldiers on in the front and World War II soldiers in back.

Bus
transfer station at the University of Ottawa.

These posters are at the
Student Union building. Apparently, Bush is going to hear the Canadian public opinion on his upcoming visit.
