Nova Scotia

Here we are in lovely Sydney NS.  Once again there are three ships docked - two Holland America and one Disney - a boon to the local economy,  I'm sure.  Ours is the only ship that was actually scheduled to be here (and so we get the preferred docking location).  The other two ships had their itineraries rejigged because of Hurricane Florence.  

Had some nice chats with the locals this morning as we walked along the boardwalk.

(Tom kept challenging other people with walkers to a race.)

There's also a nice memorial to the Merchant Navy.

Yesterday we were in Halifax,  our first Canadian port.  I left Tom on the boardwalk while I went in search of the perfect t-shirt.  By the time I got back, he had removed both his fleece and sweater, and was down to a golf shirt.  We were both wishing we'd worn shorts, it was so warm.

Which made it a perfect day to meet our friends Leslie and Bill at Garrisons for a beer. 

Oh, and I'm up $43 on the slots!
