Thoughts of Grace

October 23, 2009

We woke up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 702 nautical miles from New York.

We had a bus tour through Halifax to Peggy’s Cove, a rustic fishing village where 40 people live year around and on a loop back to Halifax. We really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was good, that’s important. We heard about Halifax’s part in the rescue of the survivors of the Titanic, a shipping explosion in the Halifax harbor and the crashing of an airliner from New York. (I’ll have to check with the others for info I forgot).  You’ll

need to see the pictures, to kind of understand the remote, lonely feeling of the Cove.

We had Italian for dinner. I thought of you, Shirley, while I ate Tiramisu. Elmer and I went back to the room. Mom followed Mary and Emily this evening.  I’ll have to get the low down tomorrow.  Tomorrow a day at sea, Quebec City, Sunday morning.

That is the end of October 23, 2009.  Good Night…Sleep Well…Love you

These posts will be so much more complete when I can post the pictures.
