A Blue Sky Holiday
Well I guess it's time to catch up on my blogging...
Today my mom and I went to Mahone Bay, Bridgewater, and Lunenburg in Nova Scotia. It was a beautiful, sunny day. I hadn't been down the coast since I was little. It brought back a lot of memories. These historic places are among the most photographed places in Atlantic Canada. In Lunenburg we went and saw the historic church that was rebuilt after a fire burned the structure down in November 1, 2005. The church just re-opened last month.
Yesterday my mom and I went to Point Pleasant Park, Halifax Waterfront, the casino, and The Old Triangle. Point Pleasant Park is a place where many people go walking to get away from the "busy" city. Unfortunately, this was the first time I visited the park since before Hurricane Juan. There were hardly any trees left standing. It was sad. No one alive today will ever see the park like it was before. Still the park was nice-worth taking a stroll through. In the park we saw a historic sight-Prince of Wales Tower. We learned that the first asphault floor in North America was placed there.
We then went downtown to the Casino. If you spend $20 at the casino you get free parking. My mom felt that was a great deal so we stayed there for over an hour. I was asked for ID numerous times. The restriction is 19. Man I guess I look young even with my new hair cut. We then got to the Waterfront in Halifax and watched the Buskers (street performers). One guy was hilarious! After a few hours we walked uptown to a pub called the Old Triangle. So many people in the pubs and so many bands. It was awesome!
Finally we went home and watched "Unfortunate Events." Funny enough I didn't like it very much. Jim Carrey did a wonderful job, but what an odd movie. I'll give it props for being odd, but that's all.
Anyway tonight after a long day we're watching another movie-this time "Guess Who" with Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher. Yawn another big day in NS.

A future fire? Or an arsonist on a schedule?
