Halifax,
Nova Scotia was comparable to Vancouver, BC; Seattle, WA and San
Francisco, CA because all three (3) cities were by the harbor. Halifax
though had a very unique characteristic as a city of lobster and its very
relaxed atmosphere. Our first stop was
at the
National Historic Site of Citadel. Kristia failed to take home the
lifeguard at Casino Rama and she failed again to snatch the stiff guard at
the Citadel!
While waiting for our tour, I joined the
marching kids. If they had an extra kilt, I could have worn one. There
were actors and actresses scattered around the fort that made it feel like
we were back in time.
From the Citadel, we went to
Alexander Keith's Brewery and a stroll
along the harbor. We had supper at
Murphy's Restaurant and their
seafood platter was fantastic. This time, Kristia was not asked to
produce an ID for her beer but she came prepared nonetheless.
We went to the
casino and Kristia
was not asked for any ID also. So she took advantage of having another
beer. Until the wee hours of the night along the harbor and at the
Halifax famous Economy Shoe Shop
Bar and Grill, we never stopped ordering for various types of beer.
We were supposed to leave Halifax on July 22
at about 10:00 pm but a tropical depression was developing at that time.
it was just prudent that we had to shorten our trip as we did not want to be
stranded there.
