I took them on the little bridge over the Canal.

Personally, I don't love to be there, but I think it is still beautiful city.

It is good city to have one day tour on the way to Toronto if you are from East coast,

or on the way to Montreal or Quebec city, if you are from Toronto or further.

Rideau Canal has a long skateway during winter time. Unfortunately, this winter is too warm to keep it for a long time.

And it is worth to try Beavertail on the Canal skateway.

Capsule coffee machine

These days, I am thinking about purchasing capsule coffee machine for my mom, and myself.

I think, for mom, Nespresso will be good, since, it is very pretty, and it is fun! This model, Citiz, has milk frothe machine as well, so we could make latte or capuccino.

For me, I think Tassimo, since I could buy capsules easily from grocery stores, one of my friends just bought a Kuerig, and she loves it, since what she care about is drip coffee, rather than a fancy drink.

anyways, I did not buy any yet, I will look more.

Prices are different from $100 to $400 (canadien dolllar)
