Left Truro and the rain stopped before we had gone 5 miles, thank you LORD. We headed south toward Halifax, but decided to go a little further first to Peggy's Cove. We were not disappointed. We saw the actual Atlantic Ocean for the first time on our trip. At least this part does not have beaches like we are used to in Oregon.
We then wandered back to Halifax. Chuck said we should have a nice lunch there and we did at Gohan's next to the ferry terminal. Lobster roll and halibut tacos. Wonderful company, just the two of us. We then wandered the streets of Halifax taking in the contrast between 150 year old churches next to glass high rises. Walked up a hill to a clock tower that chimes ever quarter hour. The view was breathtaking. Again the great contrast. This was near the site of a military compound - which no longer exists.
Enough excitement so come back to the motel. Weather was good except for first thing this morning.
Interesting fact: gas prices are regulated. Don't need Gas Buddy; everywhere is the same. Today it was about $4.05 per gallon Canadian.
Karen thinks that if she were to take the family on a vacation, it would be to Nova Scotia. So much for every age - and we haven't explored a tenth of one percent of what is here.
Something for everyone along the Halifax wharf boardwalk.
Old and new together in Halifax.
Incredible view over the city.
