No 100 km this weekend but still lots of activity.  Tennis then kayaking.  We went from Rockliffe to Parliament Hill and back on the Ottawa River.

One of the tour boats with Gatineau in the background.  That is King Eddie bridge

Ruth and Margaret enjoying the view.

It was beautiful with the sun bouncing off the water.

Looking up into Gatineau.  Not sure what this river is that flows into the Ottawa.

These were the only houses along the shore on the Quebec side.  The rest was all woods.

Rideau Falls where the Rideau River goes into the Ottawa.  Really powerful when you are that close in a small boat.

Lots of foam on the water was our first clue that we were getting close to the falls.

Beautiful sun sparkling on the water.  This was in the afternoon too... not at sunset time.

Proof we made it to the hill.  The ride back was easy since the current carried us.

One of many places with lots of boats.  This one is across from Parliament Hill.

Just had to take more pictures for proof we were there.

This is the falls from the other side of the river.  We went up one side then back the other.
