I'm glad you all enjoyed the first set of pictures from Halifax. Here are some more.
Pete and I both love the ocean so we made a point of spending as much time on it as we could. On our second day in Halifax we went on a nature tour which took us through the harbour and out into the open water.
Here's a picture of the pier as the boat pulled away.This is Georges Island in the harbour which will hopefully one day be opened as a national park. You can see a part of the fort wall on the left. I don't know why, but I just love this little island. I hope it's open by the time we come back.
When we got out into the open water it was COLD! Here I am wearing a hood, scarf, leather gloves and sun hat :)
On our way back into Halifax we passed this picturesque little fishing village. I love the multi-coloured buildings.
We didn't end up seeing any wildlife on our tour so the guides gave us a bucket of old rolls to throw at the seagulls. Those were some happy birds.
My goal while in Halifax was to eat my first lobster. After the tour, we decided to have dinner on the pier and I had my lobster.
I'm not sure if I would order it again. It's very strange to have to destroy your food before you eat it.

After the tall ship, Pete's eyes were bothering him (too much wind and sunscreen got in them) so we found a pretty park. While he rested I took pictures of flowers
And I Kinneared Pete :)
We were sad to say goodbye to Halifax. We had had a wonderful time there and will definitely be back.
Up next, pictures of Creepy Halifax and my list of recommendations.

Heh, I love the lobster picture. :) Such pretty coastline too!
More gorgeousness! Mike and I definitely have to visit there someday.
I won't eat lobster. Someone once told me that you shouldn't have to violate the Geneva Convention just to eat. I quite agree with them. Gross.
Ha! You look SO skeptical about that lobster! I grew up with lobster so it always seemed normal to me (and in fact it's my favorite food!) but it is plenty messy!
I also love the seagull picture!
