Our travels

To Quebec City

From Ottawa we drove  to Quebec City - the capital of the Province of the same name, located on the St. Lawrence River. We covered 450 km in as many as 6 hours because the drive through Montreal during peak hours (on the highway intersecting the city) took 2 hours! For the first time we saw the va...

Ottawa's suburbs, family and Canadian First Nations

In the vicinity of Union Sqare

Not far from Union Square, the Madison Square Park is located (not to be confused with the Madison Square Garden, with a large sports hall, where famous boxers fight mercilessly for big money).

Union Square

Union Square* has always played a very important role in the life of the city. Putting aside its history, today we minimize the entry and include a huge number of images from the life of New York City now - because it's worth it!
