Halifax

The Harbor Hopper (Duck) amphibous vehicle was great fun; it is a great way to get a sensce of the city and the harbor. Big Jer suggested I try to drive one as he did in boston, but subject did not come up. These Ducks are from the Viet Nam area, bigger that the WWII variety.
The maritime museum was very interesting with exhibits on pirates who frequented these waters, on the explosion which flattened Halifax in 1917 and the TItanic. The explosion on December 6, 1917 was from a French munitions ship in the harbor. We visited two of the cemeteries where Titanic disaster (February 13-15, 1912) are buried. At Fairview Cemetery, we saw the grave of jack Dawson. Yes he was a real person, but not the guy depicted in the movie. The grass in front of his headstone is all worn away. Later, we walked along the waterfront which is really nice and enjoyed an ice cream cone.
