The rebuilding of Halifax is a testimony to the strength and spirit of the survivors. It is a beautiful area; the people are welcoming and warm.
While there we went out on a lobster excursion and toured the area by small boat.
First an informative lecture on lobsters.
And then a personal conversation....(I had called ahead to make sure my sweater wouldn't clash with his bands).
Afterward, we met some of his cousins for lunch.
The one thing we learned about both New Brunswick and Halifax is that we want to go back.

I'm fascinated by that one ship which survived. One day we will go visit there too.
Defintely on our "list of places to visit"...interesting history in your post. Also, I think it's nice when you co-ordinate your clothing colors with those you visit! Great match!
Oh how cool, love the photo of the lobster. Growing up in New England we were around all that shellfish and it was just the way we rolled. Secretly I hates clams, mussels and lobster!
Lobster. I want lobster.
Hi Kathy, So glad you all got to make that fabulous trip.... I hope you do get to go back...
Hugs,
Betsy
I've read about the Great Halifax Explosion, but I've never seen a picture of the Acadia. I'm glad your sweater didn't clash with the lobster. I would like to visit Halifax some day.
I had never heard of the Halifax explosion - it must have been a terrible thing. But great they have rebuilt the port.
Lobster doesn't agree with me - alive or dead!!
But great photos!
An interesting post. Glad you dressed to coordinate with the lobster.
It's wonderful you stopped there. I've read great things about Halifax. But I'm embarassed to say that I wasn't aware of the great Halifax Explosion. What an awful incident!
It sounds like a worthwhile trip on its own. I hope you get to go back.
Did you eat that cute lobster in the pic?!
