Tim and I were in Halifax over the weekend, going to a
friend’s wedding. The trip was over
Canada Day weekend, which was a different experience. Since we live in the Capital of Canada, I am
from Ottawa, Canada day here is a HUGE deal.
There are a few ways I have celebrated here in the Capital. When we were young, my parents got us
sparklers and barbequed in the back yard.
When I was a teenager, the cool thing to do was to go downtown. I lived in the suburbs, so we took the bus
over. We had to get there early to get a
good spot on the grass to watch the fireworks.
This involved navigating through lots and lots of drunk people. It was almost impossible to get seated at a
restaurant. We also had to deal with the
weather, there were many Canada Days that it rained the whole day, or there
were a few times that were so cold I had to get a winter jacket. Now that I’m older, I have decided that I
don’t like crowds and just watch the whole thing on TV.
The celebrations in Halifax were nice, smaller, less
people. You could actually walk around
without getting bumped, and eat in a restaurant and get seated right away. It was really nice. The thing about it for us, the wedding was
the night before, so we were already tired and drinking was out of the
question. We walked down to the
waterfront and watched the boats which was lovely.
We took a boat tour as well, got lots of good pictures. We saw Theadore the tug boat!
It was great weather for the whole weekend, but extremely
hot and sunny. To walk anywhere was
tiring. I felt bad for the men that wore
jackets to the wedding, it was so hot.
We found some yarn stores, more on that tomorrow!
