Saturday June 22nd Halifax, Nova Scotia

A few thoughts about Halifax:

First, I have been waiting a long time to get to Halifax, Nova Scotia.  The name sounds really cool, cruise ships go there, people say it is really beautiful, so it must be a place to see. Well, let me tell you, aside from the water, Nova Scotia and Halifax look just like Ohio. I was imagining the beautiful pines of New England and got Ohio.


Second, these are some of the fattest people I have ever seen. Really.  The people are huge here. They might be a little bigger in Saint John, but not by much.  The people that we have been seeing are larger than the biggies in Ohio. It doesn't seem possible, but it is true. We saw four weddings today and two of the couples (bride and groom) were huge.


Third, there are some different things that you can get here.  Rob and I were walking along and we came to a McDonald’s in the downtown area.

Yes, That’s right. You are reading it correctly. They have a McLobster sandwich. (No, I did not get one).

Fourth, I was wrong about Halifax being dry.


 Tomorrow we start heading back west toward home. I will be happy to leave the alternate universe. I really think there is a disconnect between the way Americans and Canadians think and approach things.
