Last stop--Halifax!

My last entry, as we are in Halifax, Nova Scotia visiting Kelly and Phil Spencer.  Today, we walked all around the town, which is smaller than Portland, but has a Big City Feeling.  Halifax has one of the deepest Harbours in the World, so there is much going on as far as shipping.  I was tempted to ride a Tug, which I have always wanted to do, but somehow, I felt that this Tug might not give me a realistic picture of a "working waterfront!
      There are lots of Restaurants around here, so we will eat well, I am sure!  We toured The Citadel this am, and got a flavor of Nova Scotia's Scottish, British, and Irish history.  The Soldiers were all dressed in kilts, and a bagpiper gave a splendid rendition of Scottish music.  This is a great way for us to end our journey, visiting Allen's daughter and learning a bit more history.  We have visited all our children on this journey, which makes it a double pleasure! Hope to be home around the 18th, or thereabouts. See you all soon!  Dee and Allen
