Canada in my rear view mirror, Halifax, Nova Scotia






































As you read this, we are in the middle of the Atlantic, enroute to NYC. The cruise is approaching a conclusion. Choppy ride, waves are about 7 feet. Looks like a bunch of innebriated passengers on board.
Halifax is pubs, Peggy's Cove, Molson Beer, light houses and more lobster. The weather has been great. I'm trying to keep this to a minimum, but my harem keeps insisting I type. Where was my harem in high school? There will be one more blog.....

Oh Canada! Saint John, New Brunswick




















The ship docked in Saint John on a windy, cold, sunny day. temperatures were cool. A pretty little coastal town. Activities included shopping, dining , sightseeing, museums and did I say, shopping. Everyone scattered and toured the area. One of the trips was to see the "reverse falls". Linda and I went to a museum and saw a film about the tide, migratory birds and the mud flats. I was on the edge of my seat.
After departing for Halifax, we all enjoyed another great lobster dinner with champagne I had won in a quick draw shoot out with about 75-100 people the night before. I had a fan gallery that urged me on to victory. All I could hear was "go Alabama, go Auburn, he's going to win, he's a State Trooper. So that's how we got the champagne.
After dinner we went to a comedy show to listen to Phil Tag and then on to the Classic Rock hour with dancing to old rock and roll songs. (See previous post) Another great day.
