Melody's host went all out decorating for Easter and put out many wonderful decorations! Melody was so impressed! People in Canada rarely decorate that much, especially since Spring is often barely beginning at Easter time.

Ottawa - Downtown

Image
When not travelling, I live in Gatineau, across the river from Ottawa, the capital of Canada. Here's a few pictures of the downtown core of Ottawa, by the Ottawa River. This is the the Alexandra Bridge (also called the Interprovincial Bridge) one of several bridges over the Ottawa River, which separates the cities of Ottawa (in the province of Ontario) and Gatineau (in the province of Québec). It is my favorite bridge : half of it is reserved to pedestrians, so people (and trolls!) can cross the bridge by foot and enjoy a fantastic view of the Ottawa River, the History Museum and the back of the Parliament buildings. The two following pictures show an area of Ottawa that is called "Byward market". It is both a highly touristic area with a lot of fancy restaurants, art galleries and boutiques, and a bunch of very expensive apartment buildings, and an area where one can find a lot of homeless people. It is always full of people during the day, but it's not the saf...

Picky have stayed in Hong Kong for weeks. He went out with me and traveled many places. Let me send you some of his photos. On 13th of June, Picky watched the sunset with me. You may also enjoy the sunset from the photos I sent you. On 23th of June, Picky went hiking with me and my friends. The mountain we went is the 2nd tall hill in Hong Kong. It is the tallest hill people can travel by the normal way. It's name is Lantau Peak (鳳凰山). I took many photos and videos for recording. I sent you some of them. On 26th of June, Picky and I go to Central general Post Office to join a small meet-up activity without meet-up card. I took some photos for Pinky.

Ivan and Masha in Ottawa-Gatineau, Canada - July 2020

Image
Ivan and Masha arrived in Gatineau at the beginning of July 2020, during the COVID-19. Since the host prefers to avoid taking the bus because of the pandemic, and sometimes, walking takes too long, one of the first outings that she took Masha and Ivan on was to Canadian Tire, to buy herself a bike. The host had not riden a bike for almost 25 years, so she was a little bit afraid that she wouldn't be able to anymore, but she was wrong to worry. It looks like riding a bike really is something that one always remembers how to do! A nice view of Gatineau and downtown Ottawa: The host's brand new bike: The host also took the newlyweds to Domaine Fairview, a large park (that used to be a private domain, and then an experimental farm) near her home. There is still a beautiful mansion there, and some of the former farm facilities, but the mansion is now used to house artists and the land is used as a green space where people can go and walk, play ball and picnic. ...
