Our Last Days in Halifax

One of the last days left, the campus bookstore manager, his wife, son and M. F. rented a van for $75.00. They drove approx. 27 miles to Peggy's Cove. The winds were hurricane force by our estimation. The winds registered 60 miles an hour in Halifax; you're see a a sign later that warns people from getting too close to the edge of the rocks. The strong winds also caused the lighthouse to appear to lean even though I tried to hold the camera steady!

A delicate way of saying "DANGER!"

Loved these rocks; can you see the "turtle heads"? These rocks are part of the hugh area where Peggy's Cove lighthouse is located.

Entrance to public gardens.

M.F. sipping tea on veranda of Tea House looking toward gazebo. She couldn't find a likely candidate to take her picture as most people were eating ice cream cones, dealing with their children AND the wind was melting the ice cream. Imagine how you'd feel taking a picture of someone while your ice cream melted! So she aimed the camera and attempted to not know the picture was being taken!

M.F. saw this license plate on her walk back to the ship. We miss our doggies.

Upon return to ship, this was the view f rom our balcony. While we were in Halifax, clipper ships were docked down the pier from us. This one had eight gun portals according to LaVahn.

vIiew from port (or left) side of ship. Taken especially for M.F.'s cousin who is a conductor with CSX. Later during the day, a double decker with sky view arrived. Our grocery and liquor store is in background. We were allowed to bring on "sealed" snacks. Our cabin has a refridgerator.

Typical tourist. This is as close as M. F. will be to a "Mountie." This was located in a fab restaurant on the wharf within walking distance of our ship.
