Days Off...
I had Monday and Tuesday off -yes that was my "weekend"- and decided to make the most of my last few days here. On Monday I went wandering through the market, and bought a few little things. It was so nice outside that I read for a bit in one of the courtyards in the market.
Yesterday I went to Canada & the World, which is an exhibit by the Rideau Falls touting Canada and Canadian`s achievements. I met up with Tanya, another guide, in the evening and we went to the Museum of Civilization to look around a bit (I`m going back on Thursday to see the rest with my roomate). We went to see Mysteries of the Nile on IMAX, which was playing at the museum.

are the rideau falls actually a waterfall?

Yah, there`s actually a waterfall. They`re not big like Niagara, but they`re pretty none the less. They run from the Rideau River (not the canal) into the Ottawa River. That`s part of the reason why the canal was built in Ottawa (as well as for defense purposes).
