A Little Windy but Blue Skies

Today we woke up to beautiful blue sky and the temperature went up to 20 degrees Celsius. However, as the day went by more and more white clouds appeared. It was quite windy. Tara thinks the Halifax area has as much wind as Southern Alberta.

We drove to downtown Halifax and picked up Nathan at noon and went to Mexico Lindos for dinner and then we went to Point Pleasant National Park. It is a nature preserve on the end of The Penninsula and thus is surrounded on three sides by water. Many people in the area complain that the park is not as nice as it was before Hurricane Juan.

Most of the park was an off-leash area for dogs and we saw dogs. Most of them were great big types. Apparently people in the area like their dogs.

There are still some of the defense fortifications that were built to protect the harbour. The following picture shows the Prince of Wales Tower - not very high as towers go, but they could see out over the harbour from it.

The Cambridge Battery

We could see barges floating down the Northwest Arm (of the Halifax Harbour).







We sat on a bench and watched out over the Northwest Arm to where it joined the main part of the Halifax Harbour.
