Hello Halifax #AtoZChallenge

In July of 2024 my spouse and I took a cruise from Boston to Nova Scotia and we visited the city of Halifax.  We had a wonderful time in that beautiful city, which is the capital and largest city in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. This was our first visit.  I hope it isn't our last.

The Halifax Harbourwalk has museums, eating areas, and lots of attractions.  One museum, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, has a section devoted to the Titanic and Halifax's connection to that tragedy. Thre is also an exhibit area devoted to the tragic Halifax Explosion, which killed about 1700 people and injured more than 9000 on December 6, 1917.   

We also walked around the downtown areas adjacent to the Harbourwalk.

Someone's in a Hurry.

Downtown Halifax is quite hilly.  I decided not to straighten out this picture to give you a taste of the hill. 

At the top of the hill is the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site.  There is a daily changing of the guard and a big BOOM from cannons every day at noon.  Halifax residents always know when it's 12:00.

Finally, I think this artwork is of Anne of Green Gables.  Wrong province but who cares?

What a beautiful city Halifax is.  It's full of History, too.

I hope we can return one day and explore more of its History.
