Halifax - Day 2

Another day, another day in Halifax.

Our morning started with some food that we had picked up from Pete's the day before - local Nova Scotia apples, bananas from somewhere else, bluberries from somewhere else and some cinnamon buns. I've gotta say...I'm missing my smoothies... Funny, after one day of not eating properly and not getting a good night's sleep I'm now suffering from what I think may be a cold or hopefully just allergies. I can't really tell. Ugh...I really hope I feel better in the morning!!




After breakfast we started our trek out to the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market.




The market has a really good vibe and lots of different foods to purchase. We left with 3 small buns,...




homemade cheese crackers,...


didn't buy but had a sample of Nova Scotia Whiskey (yum),...




listened to some authentic East Coast music,...


checked out some goat's cheese and milk,...



sampled some great raw dark chocolate bars and fudge,...




and then checked out The Fish Shop to look at all the seafood I could only look at but not purchase today. Boooo...




After we visited the market we made our way back to our hotel and then up (waaayyy up) to Citadel Hill.




My daughter loved Citadel Hill. She loved that it was like a castle with a drawbridge and was able to check out the cannons and the views of the city from above.




Our realtor picked us up not long after our visit of the Hill and took us out to view a few houses in Timberlea and then in Eastern Passage.

Lucky for us he also took us out for lunch to a great fish and chip place in Eastern Passage called  Wharf Wraps. It was delicious. I didn't feel too guilty about my deep-fried lunch after all of that walking (mostly uphill) that I did earlier in the day.




After spending another afternoon viewing homes there are 3 homes that will get a 2nd viewing tomorrow so that my husband can take a look at them and we can put an offer on one of them. We'll see what happens!!

The bummer? It's supposed to rain for the remainder of our time here. Hmmm....what shall we do? Perhaps we'll go see a movie? Not sure yet..
