Halifax

by Kaspian - last update: Jun 8, 2006

Halifax - Harbour (2004)
Travel Dates: September 17-19 2004.

I visited Halifax on a dark cold weekend September 17-19 2004, for my cousin Craig's wedding. I think the weather added a lot of great atmosphere to the city! It would probably be a completely different experience if it were sunny.
It's almost impossible to take a bad photo in Halifax.
Halifax - Citadel (2004)

The Citadel

Gotta give these blokes some credit, standin' around on a cold day with the wind blowing up their kilts and everything! Must've been why they looked so serious. Just kiddin', they were actually friendly . Me, Keri, Jon, and Zoe had a blast touring the Citadel despite the cold morning. It's too bad we didn't have more time, I would've liked to explore it more.
Visit my Halifax Travelogues for more photos of the Halifax Citadel.

Exploring as Fast as Possible

We booked around as much as we could over the weekend, trying to see everything. It's impossible, but we did get in more than a lot. Checked out downtown, the waterfront, the Historic Properties, Pier 21, Alexander Keith's Brewery, and St Paul's Cemetery. My legs were definitely sore the Monday morning after we got back.

Pros:"The people are great, the buildings are full of history, tons of pubs!"
Cons:"Cigarettes are about $15 a pack."

 Wishing you a great week before your Birthday. I know... traditional to put this comment on your HP... but EVERYONE does that, and I thought I'd be a little unique... or just plain different! Enjoy!
