Tom and Shannon went to look at some historical stuff, while Eileen and I chose to walk on the wharves down in the harbour. It was lovely down there. The city was alive and very colourful as it is Pride Week in Halifax and the Parade was today.
Eileen and I were on the waterfront when the parade went by about about 4 streets up, so we saw some from a distance but not enough to see how much fun it must have been.
Later when we were still walking about, we saw lots of people in such wonderful costumes making their way around town. It was such a fantastic atmosphere. The city was filled with rainbows! (I think the people in this picture have posed for other pictures before...just sayin...)
The book store had a funny sign in the window with a rainbow that made us giggle. Even the different businesses had corporate signs with rainbows in support of Pride Week. Well done Halifax!

Eileen and I visited Casino Halifax and that's all I will say about that. Well, actually I will say 2 things - we kept our shirts, but we are not flying home first class! So as all of us are wearing Fit Bits....a little mechanism that tracks your steps for the day...I have to report that I accomplished 16,870 steps! Considering about 2500 is a usual day with no extra walking - you can see what an accomplishment that is!
We have all had lots of walking days, but this was exceptional.

So with this lovely day in Halifax Harbour at an end, our plans for tomorrow include the gardens and a walking day on Springarden Road before we make our way to the airport hotel to get ready for our early flight tomorrow morning to return to Newfoundland.

Way to go with 16k steps!!!! Sounds like a great day - safe flight tomorrow! St. XO
Good thing you did the laundry after the lobster dinners. I think the best way to eat lobster is in an old T-shirt and raggy shorts. Come to think of it, I still eat a lot of food like that.
Did you get to a COWS Ice Cream shop? Might give Lick'a'Treat a run for their money@
