Spent a couple of hours in the morning at the land registry printing off some early records. Did you know that the first person to have a land registered in Canada was a Jew named John Franks? This was in 1749.
A tour of the citadel in a drizzle
Shooting demo. the guy looked like he was 12 years old, but he was really fast at reloading and shooting.
Pier 21.
Tony found the Franconia; the boat that he took leaving Canada an d going back to Israel via France.
Africville. A national heritage site commemorating the expropriation of lands of the black community in Halifax.
it took us a while to find the place due to the lack of signage. That was the first clue. We found the protesters first
Apparently, it is an off-leash dog park. There are a few art students' installations to commemorate the 'event'.
The bridge between Halifax and Dartmouth. Source of anxiety. The toll stations want only quarters. We kept throwing money at it and it wanted more...on the next trip over, we realized that not only there are booths with attendants that can give you change, there are also floaters that can 'rescue' you if you have a problem. We are such tourists...
Halegonian Jewish cemetery. It was locked.
Had dinner with Betty and Mike at the Mi'kmaq Mall :)
We could have had an oil change at the mall's parking lot if we wanted to. Just drive into the trailer.
June 18th. A day trip to Peggy's Cove in glorious weather. For a change.
A rock crop on the road.
Boats...
Harbour...
Band a lobster?
Bay...
The most photographed lighthouse in the world
For a good reason.
Yup.
Just outside of Peggy's Cove, a memorial to the 111 Swissair flight that crashed 12 km off shore.
Rocks strewn around by the glacier.
Pitcher Plants
Yes, more lupines
Archaeology fun with six very chatty girl guides. The girls did very well putting together the pots. I made only one girl cry and just like our ancients we were paid in wine! Thanks Betty!
...and onwards to Newfoundland!
