Day 1 - To Halifax!

We got up super early and were driving to Newark by 6:30.  Fortunately we had little traffic and getting through security was easy.  We then had a pretty long wait to board, but there was a grand piano nearby and people were playing music, so it was nice!  The flight was less than two hours, then we grabbed a rental car and we were off to our airbnb in Halifax.

The house was pretty nice, but we just dropped our stuff and headed for the Seaport area.  There are cute souvenir shops and lots of restaurants, so we wandered around for an hour.  Then we stopped at the supermarket to get some breakfast foods, then back to the house.

Getting "Donair" for a late lunch, a Halifax speciality.  It's kind of like a doner kebab with a sweet sauce.

Saw this in a gift shop.  It's nice to be breathing trump free air!!

We came home for a while, and made dinner reservations for tonight and tomorrow night, also spent time figuring out what we want to do tomorrow.  We had dinner at a terrific restaurant, "The Wooden Monkey," which had organic, locally sourced food.  My drink was called a Raspberry Crisp - YUM!

Nova Scotia Salmon - what else??
