Woe Canada (Picture Heavy)

So far, I’ve already had an adventure, just 1 day into my trip. Readers, remind me never to use continental again. So, I was supposed to get into Halifax at 1 yesterday, and be all smiles and tour and learn everything about Halifax, A to Zed. Unfortunately, our dear Continental canceled our flight… without telling us. We arrived at the airport at 7:30, and were stuck there until 10:30, and thankfully got a new flight… to Toronto. Were we had a four hour lay-over before finally arriving in Halifax at 8. It’s better then nothing though, and the continental ticket woman who gave us our new tickets was very nice.

Halifax is the land of incredible niceness. There’s no other way to describe it. You can stop passersby’s on the street and have half-hour long conversations with them. The shopkeepers are just as nice. It’s actually going to be a shame to leave. If you ever have a chance, go! Be aware, it can be a bit nippy, though. Be sure, if you're the morbid type like me, to learn about the Halifax explosion.

Semester at Sea seems to be a big thing. With 780 student and family, Halifax is a buzz with students. Every college-age person I meet will be on the MV explorer. All of them are wonderful too. Despite the less-then perfect beginning. I have high hopes for this voyage. Tomorrow we board and head to Barcelona. We’ll be there in 10 days.

Sorry for this dry post, have some pictures of Halifax!
