It gets cold in Ottawa

I flew to Ottawa yesterday for work.

While I was there, I learned that Ottawa is the second coldest capital city in the world. It also has a beautiful downtown.

As I walked in the city, I realized that I should have brought my winter overcoat.; it was cold. The wind was whipping through the city and was bone chilling. But, the buildings were spectacular to see, and it reminded me of being in Europe.


There is a canal that runs through the city center. During the winter, it freezes over and creates a long ice skating run. You can see in the picture below that it is just starting to freeze. If I go back, I'll bring my wool overcoat and maybe try skating.
