On the fourth day of our honeymoon our ship made post in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Halifax is so beautiful!!
We passed this church on the way to our walk-through-history tour, the story goes that this church was built in one day. Neat!
We started our tour at the Public Gardens of Halifax.
The public gardens are a very beautiful place.
A beautiful fountain at the gardens.
The grand bandstand at the Gardens.

Well, this seagull found a very fancy perch!

War memorial.
This church was built in 1749!
The worst pre-atomic bomb explosion happened in Halifax in 1917 when a ship exploded. Much of Halifax was destroyed and many people died. This piece of debris flew into the wall of the church during the explosion.

We visited a museum with some Titanic exhibits.

Shoes from the "unknown child"
There were many huge model ships on display at the museum.
There was also an exhibit on the Halifax explosion.
Interesting story- Boston was the first to send help and aid to Halifax. As thanks Halifax provides and pays for the Boston Commons Christmas Tree every year.
Does anyone remember the "Theodore the Tugboat" children's show???
I used to love watching that show when I was little. :)
The original boat model from the show was on display a the museum.
