Saturday July 2, 2016 Halifax, NS, Canada

After a relatively late night we got up at 7, so we could be ready to leave for the Museum of the Atlantic in downtown Halifax.

We were at the museum before it opened at 9.  The museum was quite large and featured sails to steam, with a ship's chandler shop replica and an entire floor devoted to Nova Scotia's involvement with the Titanic disaster.  It also had an outside dock area with several ships and boats on display.

After the museum we had lunch at Murphy's.  http://www.mtcw.ca/#!restaurant/c21lg. I had a local dish, seafood poutine, Gerri had fish and chips and we shared a bowl of seafood chowder.  Being a sheltered hillbilly and then transplanted to the south west, I had never heard of poutine until now, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine.  While we were eating the fog rolled in.

Our next stop was a tour of the Alexander Keith Brewery.  It was established 1820.  The building was one of the few that survived the Halifax blowup in 1917.  The explosion of an an ammo carrier leveled 1/3 of the city and killed over 9000 people.  Alexander Kieth was a prominent figure in the history of Nova Scotia.  He was mayor of Halifax twice and quite a philanthropist, supporting several charitable organizations.  The tour featured a replica pub with entertainment.  At one time there was an extensive tunnel system under the city.  We saw a section of what remains that is still in use.

We got back to the RV Park at about 4:30.  It had rained, so I knocked yesterdays bugs off the windshield.  We were inside just in time for more rain.  It rained off and on for the rest of the early evening.

Gerri did very well today considering last night's injury and treatment.  She had some throbbing around the cut but no other ill effects.
