Rest Day in Halifax: The Sunny One

June 20, 2015

We had arrived in Halifax one day earlier than planned and decided to stay for two days to relax, recharge, and enjoy the city. Today we rose late! We had been out till after midnight last night and needed the rest! So after some coffee, we went on a walkabout in Halifax. It was bright and sunny!

First stop: The Old Burying Ground.

The Crimean War monument, commemorating the British victory in the Crimean War and the Nova Scotians who fought in the war.

Second stop: Halifax Citadel.

Entry to the citadel. This guard would not speak a word . . .

Inside, these two were a lot more friendly. They liked the fact I had worn red today.

Then a walk through downtown and along the waterfront.

The Halifax Grand Parade (historic parade grounds).

The Halifax waterfront (pretty typical of waterfronts these days, food, food, and more food).

And they had great mussels at the Waterfront Warehouse . . . along with a haddock "burger" and a couple of Propeller IPAs.

Afterward, we went back to the hotel and relaxed before going out for a late dinner. The restaurants were packed, so we ultimately did not get seated till after 9:30! If you go to Halifax, make reservations.
