Day nine was a day spent mostly at one location. The one item on Maddy's list that was a must: the War Museum. An amazing building, outside and inside!
Replica plaster models of the sculpture at Vimy Ridge...
The reception area...
Iconic photographs...
Justice...
Heavyweight artillary...
...land & air...
Hitler's car, no less...
Propaganda or partiotism....
What does one say about such a place? Nearly four hours, and I still needed more time. There is so much gathered here, so much to see, to digest, and to understand.
We spent the full day in our capital, even visiting the formal address of 24 Sussex. Apparently, the first family of Canada isn't living in these quarters but across the street at Rideau Hall.
We also had dinner with Laurie & Guy, long-time friends of Brenda. We then made the comparatively short drive to Montreal to camp for the night. Day ten will be the next run for Brenda and the girls. Planned a good sleep and early departure for Quebec City and marathon number five!
