En Route to Ottawa! (part 2)

I just went for a nice bike ride through the neighborhood, and my legs thought it would be a good idea to sit for a while, so I decided to add more to my journey. After seeing Niagara falls, we went to Fort Niagara which has a wealth of cultural and historical value, showing the buildings that were under French, British, and American control over the years. The workers there provided nice demonstrations on past warfare, baking, and life in the fort. Later, we drove through Toronto, which is a beautiful city that I'd like to visit one day, yet we managed to get there just as the after-work traffic rush was starting and didn't make it past the outskirts for nearly two hours. I now know why they all use the OC Transpo...
We camped at a nice provincial park and drove to Ottawa the next day, camping in Le Parc Gatineau (Québec) at Lac Philippe. It was actually cool and rainy when we toured the city, but we went inside the Fairmont Chateau Laurier and toured the Parliament building. I plan to go back soon for a full tour and a trip up the Peace Tower, for Her Royal Ambassador to Parliament (?) was there and we only saw the library (though it does host a magnificant 4 story collection of books, all under a beautiful dome ceiling).
