Really cools down here at night close to the Atlantic Ocean. It's great sleeping weather. So it was cool this morning but warmed up quickly. We tried to find a dog kennel to keep the girls for the day while we went into Halifax but were unsuccessful. We were fortunate enough, however, to have very nice neighbors here at the campground, Gail and Frank Norris, who volunteered to "dog sit" while we went to town. They are from Nova Scotia and wanted to give us some of their NS hospitality. We were so thankful to have such wonderful people looking after our girls. We were really able to enjoy our day without worry. The girls really had a good day with them. They stayed in the shade at their RV all day, between walks, and were reluctant to come home with us. We think the were really spoiled with attention.
Our day in Halifax was nice but a little overwhelming with choices. Lots to see and do but "where to begin"? We walked the harbor on a boardwalk full of restaurants, shops, boat cruises, fast food, musicians playing for "tips", and more. Today was very hot - about 92. The heat was almost too much to handle. We, of course, stopped for a very nice lunch on the harbor, outside but under an umbrella. Too hot to do much more so we shopped a little inside then opted to jump on a sailboat tour of Halifax Harbour to cool off. The day went quick and we will return tomorrow to see a little more. There is still a Marine Museum, The Citadel, a brewery tour, and more restaurants. We returned to camp via Peggy's Cove hoping to get a fog free view, but got there too late. Already "socked in" again. The good thing was it was 30 degrees cooler there than in downtown Halifax just 30 minutes away. Back at the campground we cooked fish and pizza. Ellen has a fire going outside and I'm updating the blog. Have a good night!
