I Love CanadaCanada is like a discreet giant; it has a land mass second only to Russia and it is one of the most affluent countries in the world. Canada is a bilingual country; the main languages spoken are English and French. Although travelers can get by with English, Canadians appreciate attempts by tourists to speak a French phrase or two.Ottawa, the city capital of Canada, is the epitome of small town meets bustling concrete jungle. The city is relatively new so most of its architectures are current. The Parliament Hill overlooks the Ottawa River. Inspired by Gothic architecture, it is the country’s seat of democracy. The Museum of Civilization overlooks the Hull river; it is one of the country’s most recognizable landmarks. The National Gallery is an architectural marvel of glass, steel and concrete. If you have had enough of the cityscape, a visit to Gatineau Park will rekindle your passion for Mother Nature. You can walk, run, use rollerblades or bike your way through the park’s cemented trails. Summer is the best time to visit Canada and it is not just because of the weather. Most of the country’s festivals like the Ottawa Jazz Festival are held during summer.
