Today we went to a couple of different places. First we went to the Space and Science Museum. It was kinda like the one in Edmonton. There was a simulator thing that felt like you were in a space ship going to the sun and saving the Earth from meteors. It was pretty neat. They also had demonstrations of electricity, physics, and one other one that we can’t remember what it was called. But it had to do with freezing things with liquid nitrogen. That was really neat. He put full balloons in liquid nitrogen and when he pulled them out, they were all wrinkled and looked deflated. But then after a few minutes the were full again. We also went to a war museum where they had a lot of different exhibits on all the different wars Canadians fought in. There was a lot of cool stuff like tanks, and all sorts of different weapons. We could have spent a whole day there reading everything. So Caleb and I just ran around looking at the tanks. Hehe…

Today we went to Parliament for a tour. We had to go through security and all that fun stuff. After, we went up to the top of the tallest tower and looked at Ottawa from 300 feet up in the sky. We came down and went into a room with all the names of the soldiers that died in the wars that Canada took part in. In the tour, we saw the house of commons, the library, and a few rooms that were used for multiple things like meetings and stuff. Earlier in the day, we went to a church to hear someone play the organ. It was pretty cool. We found a pretty good pizza too. It’ll be hard to find something better.
