We love our location. We are a few blocks from the Byward Market in one direction and Parliament Hill in another. Turns out we have another perk we didn't plan for. The lot beside our hotel is a construction site: the location of a new multi-story Ottawa Art Gallery. Turns out it is interesting. We run to the window when we hear three whistles to watch the blasts lift the enormous tire mats off the ground. We have also learned more than we thought possible about the skills of being an excavator on a huge construction site. Btw. Bylaws insist that no noise can be made until after 7:00 am. Good thing, eh????

Probably 15 feet of bedrock has been carefully blasted and removed (about 1/3 of it while we stayed here!) |

View off our patio - storm clouds gathering. |
