PRI's The World - Geo Quiz Podcast 679
RETURN THE HOTEL TOWEL - NO QUESTIONS ASKED For today's Geo Quiz we're looking for a missing bathrobe. And some towels. And some spoons. We're checking in to a hotel in Canada's fourth largest city. The city was founded in 1826 -- and was originally called Bytown. It's famous for being the center of Canadian political life. It's also known for being the starting point of the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And on the Rideau Canal there's a hotel that's offering an amnesty. To celebrate its 100th anniversary this hotel is collecting memorabilia that may have been 'lifted' by guests over the years. We're looking for the name of the city where you'll find this hotel. Bonus points if you can name the hotel -- and your hint for that one -- it's named after Canada's 7th Prime Minister.
