OTTAWA BYWARD MARKET

Drove in to Ottawa early this morning to take in the ByWard Market. It was raining and overcast, not the best of days. Took this shot of the parliament as I drove past.

The ByWard market is just around the corner from parliament hill. It was started by Colonel By back in 1826. The vendors were just setting up and there were few customers waiting to buy so I didn't stay long.

This store looked tempting but it was a little early for sweets.

The area is pocketed with little courtyards and unique restaurants, perfect for a warm sunny day stroll

I was back home in just over an hour. Time for breakfast and some more exploring after I drop Mary off at the quilt show.

Safe travels everyone and thanks for stopping by.
