Tuesday, July 18th- A day off was planned to be a day-outing to Halifax! We would go with Elder and Sister Dela Cruz. We would ride across the Halifax Harbour on one of the passenger ferries. The day was beautiful and we had a wonderful day.

Okay, this ferry terminal in Eastern Passage is not the terminal we wanted- this one is mainly used for those who cross the harbor for work each day and has a limited schedule.

This ferry terminal at Alderney Landing in downtown Dartmouth is the one we needed!

Walking the streets of Halifax- the Dela Cruz are faster than my speed.

Sis. Dela Cruz, Elder Dela Cruz and Craig- we all stop to watch the ship pass.

A large container vessel comes into Halifax Harbour loaded with goods for the Maritimes.

It's time for us to head back- we are cooking a pork roast with sauerkraut to take to dinner at the home of Bro. and Sis. Fielden this evening. This tiled was caught my eye while we were waiting for our return ride across the harbor.

These folks love to be on the water on a day like today.

We prepare to bid farewell to Halifax and its history new and old.
