Halifax

Halifax was a bigger city (about 250K). The shopping was very good here and they had a nice boardwalk where it was located (obviously right next to the harbor). A major Canadian Navy port is here so there were tons of Navy Ships.

We got on the Tall Ship Silva here for our excursion. We cast off and under motor-power we headed out into the harbor. The sails were raised and then we..... continued motoring around the harbor. yay. We were never under wind power and we never left the harbor. We just kept circling around like a deranged dog chasing his tail. Apparently there was a major explosion in Halifax in 1917 (start of WW1) and we had a history lesson about that. It was a big disappointment.

next stop... Bar Harbor.
