Halifax, Nova Scotia June 16 2011

When my family arrived at Halifax it was much colder than St. Catharines so we went right to our hotel to change into warmer clothes. We had cereal for breakfast that we packed and drove to Pier 21 and Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. I liked the Citadel because it explained the growth of the military, the living and working conditions of the military, and the role of Halifax as an important British naval and military. After we looked at the ocean and harbors while we ate snacks to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.

We saw the fisherman return to shore with the fresh crab just caught that day. When we were in the museum we learned new things about the Atlantic, like Nova Scotia is a peninsula. Next we had dinner, we had many different sea foods like salmon, lobster, shrimp and crab. We ordered a lot of sea food because it was so cheap and delicious.  The fresh seafood alone was worth the trip to Halifax.  Then we went to bed because we had to wake up early to travel  to Montreal and say good bye to Halifax.
