OCT 23: Halifax, Nova Scotia

I had written a fairly substantial post recounting the events of today.  I was summarizing the story about Halifax being blown up in the largest man-made disaster in history when, much closer to home, the app I use to write this blog blew up, wiping out the entire post.  It is too late in the evening to recapture the muse; today's post is, for now, mostly a photo essay.  


The seas, which never really got uncomfortable, had settled down by this morning.

We passed the lighthouse at the headland about 0845. BTW, I took this picture from about 4 miles away with my Samsung Galaxy 23 cellphone. While I admit to some subsequent software processing of the image, I still question whether any iPhone could match it.


We were tied up ahead of the Caribbean Princess, a cruise ship with over 3,000 passengers and 1,200 crew members.


We had some time before our tour, so we walked along the waterfront. It was a cloudy, cool Monday morning, so everything was subdued.


He was just wandering around, loving the attention.
We eventually boarded our bus for The Famous Peggy's Cove Tour. It needed to be made clear whether Peggy's Cove or the tour was famous. We hoped for both. 

We traveled clockwise on this tour


We were back at the marine terminal at 1630. The ship departed for Sydney, NS, on schedule at 1800.

I noted everything left to say when I had to recreate this post. How soon those will be added has yet to be determined. I will probably start sneaking them in when I can, beginning tomorrow morning.
