HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA-OCTOBER 29.

Meeting our driver/guide for a tour of Halifax

Beautiful scenery

Lighthouse @ Peggy's Cove

This was a 3 1/2 lb. lobster being returned to the ocean.

Enjoyment!!

The headstones of the Titanic victims in the Fairview Cemetery

One of the larger headstones
We had a private 1/2 day tour with a driver/guide.  Starting off @ 9:30 we
went to picture perfect PEGGY’S COVE that has the Lighthouse that is one of the most photographed ones in the world.  On the way back to the city we stopped at a small shack that sold FRESH LOBSTERS caught that morning and devoured a small one between the two of us.  Yum-yum!!
This is the most Scottish of all Canada’s great cities and has a population of over 300,000.  It is Canada’s second smallest province and measures no greater than 1/2 the state of Ohio.  You are never more than 25 miles from the sea. The harbor is the world’s largest harbor after Sydney and a viable fishing port and a solid military base.
The city has Fairview Cemetery that has rows of headstones for all of the 121 souls that  perished in the North Atlantic Sea aboard the TITANIC which sank off its shore on April 15, 1912.  The bodies were recovered and given a final resting place.
