Halifax, Nova Scotia & Peggy's Cove

Wednesday morning Jim and I saw the Halifax Harbor Walk and ate lunch at a fine restaurant, The Bicycle Thief (photo shows Jim with his butterscotch cake and a glass of desert wine.) In the afternoon we took an excursion to the nearby famed natural scenic site, the fishing village called Peggy's Cove. With a lighthouse near slippery rocks, lobster boats and shacks, all set against a booming surf, Peggy's Cove is a photogenic wonderland. Upon returning to Halifax our guide showed us some of the graves of the "Titanic" victims of 1912 located in Fairview Lawn Cemetery. The rows upon rows of graves evoke sadness and the realization of mortality. Back on board our ship, we looked forward to dinner with our friends before the two-day return voyage at sea back to Baltimore Thursday and Friday. - Dan
