Halifax

July 18 A leisurely ride into Halifax. At Dartmouth, we stopped to get out bearings. There was a seabus coming across, a bridge (toll, 75 cents) and a nice older couple to talk to. The lady was from Cobalt, ON and they met on the internet. They got married and moved to Nova Scotia and loved it (4 years so far). Also, our handsome fellow traveller.

Halifax gets us to another citadel. This one was the British Stronghold and was never taken. It has a Scottish flavor – uniforms include kilts and bagpipes are popping up everywhere. It was impressive the amount the British spent on building to preserve their power in the new world.

A cruise down Quidpool Rd had about 6 blocks of classic cars in a Show n Shine – some beautiful classics. My 79 Granada never looked like that.

It was a relaxed ride to Peggy’s Cove, intending lunch, but a thousand other people seemed to have the same idea, so we’ll look for lunch further down the road.

 We also stop at the nearby memorial for SwissAir Flight 111. It was touching – especially the appreciation for everyone who tried to help.
