Well, you can think about a Really BIG Tom Cruise and you are there when you think of me...

I have to echo the Parliament Building statement. It was just as cool as I thought it would be.

The national art gallery has to top this list for me. I was surrounded by paintings made hundreds of years ago, by people that are super famous. I never thought I would look at something like that up close, in real life.

Then, when I got there, there were DOZENS of paintings that I said (out loud a couple of times I think) "HOLY SHIT, I know that painting... it is famous."

I was inches away from my favorite, Monet. I could see every brush stroke, I could take it all in. It was pouring rain outside, so seeing the city (ottawa) was a no-go, but one of the curators said:
"You must be an experienced art lover."
"You couldn't be further from the truth. This is the first time I have ever seen paintings like this." I was basically in shock from the sensory overload. I was curious as to why he would make that comment though. "Why do you ask?" I said.
"These weather conditions wash out the natural light in the gallery, creating the most perfect viewing I have ever seen. It is raining, and this time of year there are very few visitors. Absolutely perfect." and then he strolled away, looking at the paintings as if it was his first time.
