A relaxing day in Ottawa

Our pace has slowed and we are enjoying this beautiful city and our convenient location. Our only specific goal for the day was to visit the Memorial for Commonwealth Airmen with no known graves. Dad's brother, William Hugh Molyneux, (Uncle Billy) is commemorated on the memorial.

The memorial is located on Sussex Drive across from the old city hall which is now the John D. Diefenbaker building - a controversial building redesigned by architect Moshe Safdie.

The rain stopped so we continued walking along the Ottawa River to take in the amazing views of the Parliament Buildings and the Museum of History in Gatineau. The trees are still colourful here - just beautiful.
