Ottawa Parliament

On 7/3/11 we went to visit Canada's capital, Ottawa. There are 3 blocks. The West block is still being repaired. There are the East block and the Centre block.

We saw the guards changing . It was in central square. There were day guards and night guards. The night guards wore red clothes and big black fury hats. The day guards wore green clothes and green caps. There was background music. All they were doing was switching places. Then we saw the Peace Fire, which was fire on top of a water fountain. It was cool because I don't know how the fire could survive water.

After that we took a tour in the East block, where we saw Prime Minister's office. He had a green wallpaper and a marble fireplace that means he was very important. Then we went to Sir MacDonald's room. He also had a green wallpaper and a marble fireplace. That means that he was also very important. He had a couch which he slept on when he was sick. Last we went in the Chamber meeting room where there were 12 chairs. There were 2 ring bells too, which were used for calling a messenger to carry the paper to the another block.

Finally we took another tour on the Center block. There was a Congress library at the end. I hope you want to visit the Parliament in Ottawa too.
