I am happy to report that the students have thoroughly enjoyed Ottawa. On the second day we went white water rafting in Beachburg, Ontario where the students learned to work together in the rapids of the river. They also received a lesson on kayaking and practiced on their own in the water after their return from the river.
Yesterday was spent touring Ottawa. We started off our day by watching the changing of the guard on Parliment Hill and proceeded to take a tour of the Parliment buildings with a tour guide named Julie. We spent lunch in the Byward Market and saw the site of Obama's official visit to Ottawa and had some free time to shop around.
We then crossed the river on foot to Hull, Quebec to visit the Museum of Civilization where the students were amazed by the exhibit of the Horse. We visited Gatineau for a buffet dinner and came back for an evening of lights and sounds on Parliment Hill with the Mosaika lightshow.
We are now heading to Quebec City!
