PICTURES AND MAPS:

So we left from Thorold and we started our adventure to Halifax. It took us more than 20 hours to get there on car, nut it was great, since we drove in my dad’s luxurious car a Toyota sequoia; it was great. Our first stop was the Halifax Citadel site, one word; awesome! It was beautiful there, but the craziest was how it was shaped like a star.

On our next stop we went to the legendary Pier 21 it was very interesting how it was used and it was exactly like I read in my Geography class. My mom wanted to go to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia really badly so I went with her and it was amazing, all the pictures were Fascinating. so we left I’m going to miss Halifax, I still wanted to go to the Discovery Centre but we ran out of time next city; here we come Montreal.
