Halifax

After breakfast this morning, we went 3 blocks up the hill to the citadel. This is the third built here (the others were intended to be temporary, and they were). It is staffed with recreators of the Scottish regiment that was here 1860s to 1870s. We took the guided tour and had a good time.

On the way back, we stopped in St. Paul's, the first Anglican church in Canada. The wood was cut and pre-numbered in Boston, then shipped here and assembled as a kit. The outside is pretty plain, but the inside has beautiful windows.

After lunch, we took a harbor tour and got two more lighthouses (NS 57 and 58 if you want to see them.)

My internet time is about to run out, so I'll post this.
