Recently we had a quick trip back to Halifax , NS to renew our visa to allow us to stay in the USA for another 2 years. It had been some years since we last visited this lovely city and when we arrived the snow was starting to melt.
However, within a a couple of days the snow started to fall and did it snow.
This is view from a window in the restaurant we were having lunch at.
Even the ferry was finding it difficult to navigate the rough seas.
When it is snowing in Canada many resort to visiting the indoor markets where everything is well laid out, warm and dry.
Inside they have something for everyone from woodwork to food.
The flowers are beautiful.
There is no point staying indoors all of the time and Beverley takes every opportunity to wear her rabbit lined hat which she bought in Portland Maine a few winters ago.
Doesn't this look great and we are going to really miss the snow when we finally return to Australia.
This weather lends itself to having tea in an Irish Pub.
The Atlantic provinces are known for their excellent seafood and here is an example of some perfectly cooked scallops.
Halifax is a the largest city in the Atlantic Provinces and the home of Sir Samuel Cunard who founded the Cunard Line.
Halifax also has a proud history of immigration and in excess of 1 million immigrants to Canada transited through this city between 1928 and 1971.
For those of you who have never had the opportunity to visit Halifax it is a city well worth the time. It is a historic and pretty city with friendly people and good food.
Best wishes to all,
Beverley and Ross
