Halifax

This is a great little city. So much history and more than its share of tragedy. The terrain is very rocky because glaciers of the past scraped the soil away down to the basalt layer.

We visited a museum devoted to the explosion 90+ years ago that destroyed the town and to the Titanic disaster. Halifax was the main recovery city for Titanic and also an airplane crash 20+ years ago. The weather and flora reminded me of home. We saw two lens at the Maritime Museum today and six lighthouses in the area or as we sailed in and out of Halifax.

Peggys Cove was an amazing fishing village with evidence of glacier activity on the rocks. You can see deep gouges in the rock.

We enjoyed the hospitality and friendly people of Halifax. They even sent us off in style with a salute of bagpipes and drum.

We are getting to know our table-mates on board. There is one couple from Holland, one from Australia and another from New York. Nice people.
