Paul Schneiderite pays us a visit. Our first e-mail Nova Scotia pen -pal.
About 15-20 minutes outside of Halifax, next to the international airport, this museum is well worth the trip for aviation enthusiasts. A dedicated group of volunteers are doing a fine job preserving Canada's aviation history.
I've seen this plane (CF-101 Voodoo) on tv and in books, but looking at the size of the fuselage compared to the small wings up close - it's hard to believe that it actually flys.
I like the PBY Catalina so much that even Rosanne can identify them ! This is a Canadian version called the PBY Canso. This particular plane crashed in Labrador do to engine trouble 20 years ago. One of the current works in progress at the museum.
A model of the crash site and condition the plane was found in.
This plane is entirely of Canadian design and manufacture.
hungry for lunch.
As the sign indicates this has been here awhile. Good fish chowda !
One big lobster. Didn't try the restaurant but couldn't miss this larger than life.
Duck heaven.
Once a duke's estate, now squeezed between the urban sprawl of Halifax and Bedford. Park path leads to the new backyards of a housing development
Winding through the moss and trees, a most pleasant stroll.
A stately tree tucked in a ravine. Many of the big guys seemed to have toppled. Found this one out of the way and doing fine (we hope).
Only us and a few red squirrels.
You'll find civilization even if you do not have a GPS. We are pretty good with maps but here, we never seemed to complete a loop!
Welcome to the Waterfront.
John Cabot reproduction visits Halifax. Waterfront is bustling with visitors.
A perfect afternoon to mix with the crowd. This replica is an important piece of N.S. history. Rough trip in???
Local aquaculture exhibit.
Found them on the Web weeks ago. What do you do when fishing goes bust? Bake bread!!!
For boat lovers this is the Caledonia a luxury yacht reproduction from Poland. Sharp.
Like clockwork every 1/2 hour.
On route to Dartmouth's, La Perla, for dinner.
Lookin' good.
The skyline at night. Romantique!
