  We stayed another day at Ottawa, IL and used the marina courtesy car to go for lunch, pick up some groceries, and take a quick tour of the downtown.  

  Throughout downtown Ottawa there are several murals on buildings.  This one was very well done.

  A nice park was located in the center of downtown.  Within the park was a fountain with sculptures of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas.  This park was the location of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate of August 1858.

  Because we enjoyed dinner so much the previous night and didn't get to try the skillet brownie dessert, we went back to the Red Dog Grill for dinner this evening.  On the walk back, the dock was lit up like a runway leading to our boat.
