I’m loving Halifax in the summer. Last weekend was a great example. It’s humid out but I’m still able to find great ways to cool off and tons of great things to do. Wine tasting, harbour cruise, patio life, swimming nearby, kayaking and so much more… it’s a lovely time to be near the ocean and appreciate the cool breezes.
And watching the the sweltering citizens of all ages playing in the fountain at Bishops Landing was great. So cute. So fun. Just made me feel like a kid watching the little ones squeal in the cold water. Next time I’ll jump in too – even in my dress clothes.
Thanks Halifax for the adventures and the smiles. Looking forward to many more to come! —A newbie in Hali – ralmn

It is a damned fine place Ralmn. I came here in ’79 and never looked back.
I always walk through that fountain when I go by.
plan to several times for the buskers too…
I’m really loving it here too – I’m not sure how long it will be home, but for now, it’s an excellent change of scenery for the craziness of my hometown…
I really wanted to walk through the fountain too, zZz, but I was in work clothes and off to meet some friends… next time though, no matter what. The kiddies were having just so much fun!
This is only the beginning 😉
