We're Finally In Halifax, Nova Scotia!
What We Did Today:
Arrived! After missing a connector flight & spending an overnight in the Newark Airport floor (new appreciation for mattresses!), we arrived at 11:45am, Nova Scotia time.
Foggy, drizzly weather welcomed us- temperature was ~38 F*. Gorgeous 90 kilometer drive southwest from Halifax to Cherry Hill. Lots of trees, wetlands, actually a lot like the Duluth/North Shore area only many more houses, more rocky, and they're close to the road!
Cabins are cool - literally. They're fabulously old and unique, but a little chilly. Were told the next step in the remodeling stage is more insulation. Glad I brought plenty of long underwear!
Our Plan Tomorrow:
Tomorrow morning we're meeting in the dining room of the green house (girl's house) and discussing Mammal Monitoring Science to get us familiar with some of the processes and reasons for our methods the next couple of weeks. Afternoon agenda involves a walk at Broad Cove doing a Field Sign Transect Hike along the coast.
For You:
1. What time was it in Minnesota when I arrived this morning?
2. How many miles is 90 kilometers?
3. What is the Nova Scotian Provincial Dog? (Example: In Minnesota we have the state bird- Common Loon. In Nova Scotia what is the "state" dog?)
Looking Forward to Seeing You!
