Sun and Pizza in Ottawa

It was my first layover in Ottawa, Canada, so I explored the city.

I took a bus from the hotel to downtown. It was a bit far but an easy relaxing ride.

Byward Market is a famous place to walk, eat, and shop. Benches were available for people to sit and enjoy the sun. So why not sit with the crowd and enjoy the nice weather.

Did I say I finished the whole 12 inches pizza? Yes, I did! I ordered my favorite pesto pizza which was really good, plus it was half the price, which made it even better. I was planning to take half of the pizza for my lunch the next day, but it will be oily and messy, so I ate the whole pizza! It was thinly sliced anyway, so it wasn’t really that filling. I call this day my “splurge on pizza day.” The bad thing was, I couldn’t afford to eat the famous dessert they sell on the street.

It was my nice first layover in Ottawa. It is a beautiful, diverse yet laid back place to live.

Segovia, Spain: The Cathedral, Alcazar, and Roman Aqueduct

If you are in Madrid, make it a point to take that trip to the nearby Segovia. It is another historic place minus the hustle and bustle of the busy capital. We tried both transportation means. First, we took the bus, which was an hour-and-a-half ride. It was only EUR4 per person for a departure at 11 AM. Returning, we rode the fast train at only EUR14 per passenger departing at 5:30 PM. The other options are whole-day packaged tours, including bus fares, to and fro. Get Your Guide offers convenient choices for activities and fares in Segovia. The bus ride offered nice views of what lies outside of Madrid. The train windows were closed throughout the trip because it was super hot! In fact, it was a bit warm inside the train. Our first stop was the Alcazar de Segovia, which was said to be the inspiration behind Disneyland's castles. You can see it in the video and you can tell why. The true feast to the eyes was the Segovia Cathedral. In the video, we had a lengthy portion that sho...
