Went with a couple of friends to Ottawa this weekend for Winterlude. I'll be posting pictures soon on Flickr. So stay tuned.
We left Friday night after work, arriving in Ottawa around 2230h. The first thing we did when we go there?! Late night run for POUTINE! Mmmmm.....Brilliant way to clog the arteries just before bedtime.
In the morning, we got up, and started the Winterlude festivities. Going down, arms linked, on ice slides. The first slide, we barely made it down halfway because of our "adult clothes". But since I was wearing a ski jacket, the next ice slide, the second we hit the ice, i laid on my back and let my jacket take us all the way down. That was fun.
Then it was off to the Canal. Since Ky is an Ottawa native, he knew the best places to park. We found a secret spot JUST off of the canal. We put on our skates and off we went, skating down 8km of ice (16km) both ways. The weather was perfect. Not too cold (-5C) and not too warm. The ice got a little soft around 1430h, but other than that....just perfect.
We had Beavertails on the Rideau. They gave us the "special" - OBAMA TAIL - Beaver tail topped with whipped cream, chocolate, and maple syrup (I think). Whatever. It was yum. haha.
At night, we went to this little Regional French restaurant in the middle of the forest in Quebec. L'Oree du Bois. I say regional because it really isn't traditional French. It's like Quebec French. Canadian French. Had a Game Consomme and a Lapin in blueberry sauce. Quite yum.
We also went to this Organic coffee place where they served coffees in Bodoms.
