Ottawa Recap

Hey All

You can check out some Ottawa recap action via the Siege Blog. I did an interesting entry that starts off with a Gandhi quote. We'll see how the religious like that.

And because I don't really feel like writing and writing, I'll leave you with pictures. Because pictures are worth 10 bazillion words.

This is Canada's Senate. It's a rather stately room, appropriately called the Red Room.

These are the doors we have been told we will never cross. Why? Because what you see is the floor of the government of Canada. This is called the Chamber, or the House of Commons where the Members of Parliament debate and basically run the country.

This is us sitting on those chairs you see behind closed doors. Yes, that's right. We were informed that we were the first group to sit on the chairs, even before the 39th Parliament of Canada has sat on them. You'd better believe we were praying our brains out. And you'd better believe walking on that carpet was a dream come true!

A rare, empty hallway of Parliament. I thought this was beautiful and was able to snap a picture as we walked by.

The ambassadors get a whole train of cars for one person. We get a whole train of people for one van. Can you believe we got all of those people, plus the photographer into that van... repeatedly?
