有什么推荐的吗?

Last year we did a couple sites in Sandy Hill including the best French restaurant as well as a cullinary school--Le Cordon Bleu. You can see the pictures from "Photo Albums" in the city's site. However I don't see it in this year's list.

Other than that,

Laurier House National Historic Site (1878)

National Art Gallery (free admission on Sat)

Supreme Court of Canada

Enjoy!

想去新建的war museum看看，好象不在单子上。
周末有机会乘双层观光bus当了一次游客。瑞士司机兼解说员说，war museum军舰外形的尾部直指Peace Tower，上面很多的小窗口组成一个密码，啊呀，忘了什么意思。整个建筑海陆空地有很多意义，得找时间去景仰一下。行至Gallery外，又说，看看啊瞅瞅，用了纳税人2，3个million买来的大蜘蛛，它的名字叫Mama. 我仔细一瞧，大蜘蛛的腹部好象是有设计，网状的结构里有些象乒乓球一样的东西，:blowzy:下次要好好看看。想了想，为什么要买个这么有争议的东西呢？又想了想，炒作啊！没有议论就没有票房。

Should be free on Canada Day. So are most other museums. If military suits your curiosity, can try the Diefenbaker Cold war museum.

Wait a minute, how come they stole Patrick's nickname? I should get life-long free membership then.
