Montebello

The day following the Phantom of the Opera show, my parents and I went to a small town called Montebello that is about an hour east of Ottawa. I always heard that there is a fancy Fairmont hotel called the chateau Montebello. Besides that, I knew very little about the town. When we arrived, we first visited the star-looking chateau - an entire wooden structure. Then we visited the Manoir Papineau, the residence of the famous politician Louis Joseph Papineau who played a major role in the Patriots rebellion in Lower Canada. After lunch at a local restaurant Burger at Bedaine, we drove up to an animal park called the "Parc Omega Montebello". Like Park Safari, this is a mainly drive-through park and animal can be fed through the car. In the park, large Wapitis (the largest deers in the park) were standing on the road, eagerly waiting for carrots . Wild boars (wild pig of European origin) were just busy digging earth to find their own food. The chubby black bear stared at every single car who passed by them. Buffaloes were resting on the prairie, occasionally blocking the road to show their importance. There were also white wolves, timber wolves, beavers, red deers, fallows, moose, raccoons, and coyotes.
