Halifax Second Full Day

Well, we slept in pretty seriously this morning. It felt pretty darn good. After a breakfast of Rice Crispies and Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, we headed out. The day was very warm, topping out at about 32 degrees celcius. We headed to the Citadel (which was more for me than Paula), a fort built to defend against the American menace just about the same time as Fort Henry. It went through 4 phases, the first being simply a wood and earthen defence to the final fort that stands today. It is a pretty amazing piece of engineering.

After going to the Citadel, we did a little shopping (which was more for Paula than me) and headed to the pier to scope out the Bluenose. It wasn't at the pier. We grabbed a cone at Cows (which was for both of us, but more Paula than me) and then went to the Granite Tavern--a local brewpub (which was more for me than Paula) where I had a sampler and settled on their IPA.

Tonight we went to a pub for dinner called Rogue's Roost. Paula had poutine for the first time and it left her kind of unimpressed. I had some really delicious mussles, but my fish and chips weren't anything to write home about.

Ok... Now for some pictures...
