A couple of days in Halifax

Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia is a friendly little city with a lot of interesting history.  The first day there was off and on rainy, but we got some quality walking time in.  Across the street for the Lord Nelson Hotel where we stayed was the Public Gardens, a lovely spot with music on Sunday afternoon.

The Citadel is one of the primary historical sites in Halifax. This young man was playing the bagpipe for the changing of the Guards.
