1-2 October 2025 We started our day with some basic shopping before walking across the street into a HUGE Asian grocery store. We were dazzled by the sheer variety of soy and other sauces, not to mention the chips. From there we meandered downhill in the direction of the water. I thought we might walk… Continue reading Southside Halifax and Travels Home

The Halifax Lancers & The Natural History Museum
30 September 2025 I begin my day once again with a walk around the gardens, taking in the peonies. It’s Truth & Reconciliation Day for the indigenous people of Canada. The gist of the little book I skimmed yesterday basically noted that the government is moving in the right direction but needs to do more… Continue reading The Halifax Lancers & The Natural History Museum
Agricola Street & The Narrows Public House
September 29, 2025 The next morning we started with breakfast at the Bluenose II restaurant and an open itinerary. The food was not as fabulous as the Stardust Café, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our placemat advertised a bookstore in the North End, Agricola Street Books, so we decided to head there after breakfast. On… Continue reading Agricola Street & The Narrows Public House
Halifax Day One: Stardust Café, Lord Nelson Hotel
28 September 2025 We are ending our trip with four nights in Halifax. The city is a bit under 1.5 hours from Mahone Bay, so we headed out early on a Sunday morning to drop our bags at the hotel and return our car to the airport, riding the bus back to Halifax. Everything went… Continue reading Halifax Day One: Stardust Café, Lord Nelson Hotel
Getting There Is Half the Fun
The drive from Halifax Airport to Cape Breton takes about 5.5 hours, and goes from the relatively flat landscape around Halifax to the dramatic cliffs of the island’s coastline. I’m struck with the lack of development and wide-open wild spaces. There are very few cars on the road and it’s generally an easy drive. We… Continue reading Getting There Is Half the Fun
Asheville to Halifax
After several months of intense planning, our departure date for Nova Scotia travels has finally arrived. I am a big fan of Canada, and even more so today considering the toxic politics of the US. In the past we’ve traveled to Vancouver, Toronto, Quebec (Montréal, Quebec City, Tadoussac). This will be our third trip to… Continue reading Asheville to Halifax
Over MacDonald Bridge
June 10 2022 We awaken to a beautiful day after last night’s rain. The forecast was for rain our entire stay but it has not played out that way. Some overcast and one evening of rain but otherwise clear sunny skies. We noticed that you could cross the big harbor bridge on foot. I think it would be… Continue reading Over MacDonald Bridge
“Don’t Rush on Our Account!”
We are on our second day here in Dartmouth and Halifax. Our first day we stopped at my very first marijuana dispensary. They are run by the federal government, though I think there are also unofficial dispensaries about. They deliver, but I wanted to experience the store. It was large and roomy with literally hundreds… Continue reading “Don’t Rush on Our Account!”
Hello Halifax
The first morning it is hard to wake up. I am deep in vivid dreams and I just want to sleep. But the pull and excitement of the day wakes me up. Even with all our planning we had neglected to deal with the phone. Jane and I have a long tradition of calling each other from airport… Continue reading Hello Halifax
