A weekend to explore Nova Scotia: Halifax and Peggy's Cove

 THEODORE TUGBOAT!! I got really excited when I saw this...
 Some pretty flowers in the gardens.
Halifax Harbour: Doesn't get much more Canadian.
 Peggy's Cove.
 We were lucky enough to catch the sunset.
 Isn't this picture postcard worthy?!
 Gotta love that Atlantic Ocean.
After 2 weeks of orientation, it was finally time to explore Nova Scotia!! A scenic 2 hour drive took us to Halifax. Overall, a very cute city. We managed to check out the Market, have some fish and chips, wander in the gardens, and climb the hill where the fort is. With the ocean view and the salt water breeze, sometimes you really forget you are in a city. Next stop was Peggy's Cove. The drive out was really beautiful - exactly what you expect out of Atlantic Canada. The entire area just feels very Canadian. We were all very excited when we reached Peggy's Cove. One word to describe it: stunning. We made it for sunset and the ocean looked amazing against the backdrop of sun kissed lavender skies. I took no shortage of pictures, and they speak for themselves. Definitely worth the drive. Tomorrow I head out to Cape Breton so expect some pics of that too. Hard to believe that one week from this moment, I'll be on my way to the other side of the globe...
