Halifax

Day 1~
On my first day in Halifax, my sister and I left over parents at the hotel to go surfing and rock climbing. The walls that we climbed were insane, I climbed every wall whether it was too high or too advanced I climbed and climbed but on the other hand my sister Natasha only climbed the walls that were for little kids that were only 8ft high. After we were finished rock climbing we wanted to go swimming but the beaches waters were too cold for us. Once both of us get back to the hotel my parents tell us that were going to an army museum, right when we got to the museum around 12pm I’ve noticed someone in the crowd that I have recognized, it turned out to be my friend from geography class (Robert. K). Robert introduced my family and I to his mom and dad after the introduction we all went and looked at the army artifacts, some of the artifacts that we have looked at were some of the old army clothing and some of the vehicles. I’ve learned a lot of interesting facts.Well all I got to say is that the first day in Halifax was amazing I wonder what the second day will bring me?

Day 2~
This is my second and last day in Halifax, my family and I went out for breakfast at the ‘’Robie’s End B&B. My mom ordered sausage and eggs, my dad ordered bacon and me and my sister Natasha ordered pancakes with blueberries, eggs, and four pieces of bacon YUMMY. After our lovely breakfast we all went back to the hotel, at the hotel we have seen Robert and his family once again and so from there we decided to tour/explore together for the rest of the day. After my family and I toured around with Robert’s family, me and my family went whale watching. Our tour guys name was Hemlet and Rachel, once we got out further into the waters we were allowed to take lots of pictures of the whales (one kind of whale that I’ve seen was the blue whale, which was the most common whale). After whale watching me and my family had to start leaving for the next city. I wonder what will happen next? I can't wait.
