We started the day at the Farmer's Market.


The Halifax harbourwalk is a 4-km boardwalk that stretches along the waterfront for 10 city blocks from the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 to Casino Nova Scotia at the north end.  



There were so many interesting things to see along the way. Restaurants, bars, boutiques, sail boats, unique jewelry, ice cream shops, food booths - something for everyone.  








Theodore Tugboat is very popular with the kids on the wharf... he even offers harbour tours. 


























After a day of walking on the harbourfront it was wonderful to sit back and relax at the Public Gardens, a 16-acre oasis in the heart of downtown Halifax. And as luck would have it - there was live music playing. A wonderful band complete with horns, guitars, drums and a singer who belted out some wonderful songs. A little R & B and some rock 'n roll. 


This park was was built in 1867 with a Victorian theme in mind, so as well as the 140 different species of trees, you will see statues with waterfalls scattered among the flower gardens and pathways, all enclosed by a wrought iron fence.

Another busy day!
