Today, we toured the Supreme Court…
While we waited for our Supreme Court tour, we wandered around behind the building, where there’s a lovely view
The Supreme Court’s name engraved in marble
Because the Justices are currently away, we got to enter the actual Supreme Court
…where I got to close the door in the actual Supreme Court, since I was the last to enter the courtroom.
Next we toured Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General.

Our tour guide talks about the painting of Michaëlle Jean

And then, because the day wasn’t full enough already, we went and spent a few hours in the War Museum.

There’s a spot in the War Museum where you can see the Peace Tower at Parliament
Then we had supper and went back to the hotel, where Kathleen is currently asleep and I don’t think I’m going to last much longer.
