Fisherman’s Cove within Halifax City Limits

My Travel Addiction and myself, can be found in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada today. I arrived last night and today was all for exploring the city. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining and the temperature about 65 degrees. There were a few trees starting to show their fall colors but not enough to get excited. The downtown waterfront in Halifax is where the action is. It’s a busy place, full of historical buildings, shops, restaurants, ships on display, many city tour options and a maritime museum. Venturing a few blocks uphill I found churches from the 1800’s, art galleries and lots of renovations happening. I then ventured onto Fisherman’s Cove Village for dinner which was wonderfully picturque. I had a Seafood Stir-fry in a Pineapple Curry Sauce which was yummy .

Two interesting tidbits:

An interesting Canadian food optiion: Poutine: – made with french fries, cheese curds and grave. Yes, it looks as gross as it sounds.

I also saw a wonderful display about the Caandian artist Maud Lewis who lived in a tiny house and only had a 3rd grade education. Her house, along with many of her paintings were on display. If you have time read more about her – it’s really an interesting story.
