A trip into Halifax!
On Saturday the group travelled into Halifax for the day. It was quite unusual to be in a city after 5 days in a very remote area. Everyone did some shopping and sightseeing. We met up for dinner with our Dr. Chris and Dr. Christina for some seafood. It was a very nice evening. Chris and Christina have to be two of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met in my life. They cook for us, teach us, and most importantly, laugh with us. They always have smiles on their faces and are never short of patience. It will be very hard for me to say goodbye to both of them.
I have attached our two 'houses' which we have called home. Each house has come to take on quite a personality. The green house is kind of like the 'landing house.' All of the blogging/skyping is done here and this is also where everyone convenes for dinner. The yellow how is where the guys stay and is a bit creepy. It has come to be nicknamed 'psycho house' because they guys have told everyone that there is an usual prescence there. I have yet to venture over to see what they are talking about!

In your trip to the city, what was the coolest thing you saw? What was the main difference of the remote areas and the city? Just so you know Mrs. Metz, just after one day I have noticed Geography class is a LOT different and a LOT quieter.

The city of Halifax is a port city--actually the largest port city in Nova Scotia. I really liked seeing the large container ships in port. Also, right in the middle of the city is the citadel. It was a naval port in the former British Empire. I really enjoyed seeing it, too!
