Unlike the gorgeous Wednesday in Lunenburg, Thursday promised – and delivered – a wet and overcast day. Perfect weather for visiting museums! We met up with my Mom, who also loves museums and is largely responsible for my love of them, and visited the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Much like the art gallery on…

Once we finished our exploration of the town itself, we headed down to the waterfront. Lunenburg is, afterall, defined by the ocean and by the fishing industry specifically. If you’ve had any Captain High Liner in your freezer, you’ve had a little bit of Lunenburg in your kitchen. While that wouldn’t be enough to attract…

One thing that Kathleen and I have added to our Atlantic visits is a day trip to another smaller town or scenic spot. Last year, it was Peggy’s Cove, and this year it was Lunenburg. To be candid, there was no particular reason we selected Lunenburg. We had originally planned an overnight to Charlottetown, but…

A quick walk down Portland from Sullivan’s Pond, and we were ready for a little lunchy-boo! It was a beautiful day, so we decided on Stone Pizza to go, so we could sit at the waterfront. Kathleen and I had the dill pickle pizza and Mom, a Greek. All quite tasty! For Mom, one thing…

Just as my Mom predicted, by Tuesday, she was (mostly) back to rights. For what is becoming a tradition, we met her at Two If By Sea on Ochterloney to begin catching up over a nice beverage (my almond milk london fog was quite tasty). As I’ve written before, she relocated to the coast almost…

It’s why I wanted to develop film in the first place. Slide film! E-6! I can think of perhaps three or four labs in Canada that will develop slide. Development is expensive. The film is expensive. And uncommon. And it’s absolutely gorgeous! So on Wednesday, nearly one year to the day that I first developed…

After spending time in the Old Burying Grounds, we had one more book shop to visit: Trident Booksellers and Café on Hollis. And once again, while I didn’t find anything to add to my reading pile, Kathleen did. It didn’t escape our notice that, where book shopping is concerned, we switched roles from our May…

Monday’s adventure would seek Kathleen and I once again cross the harbour into Halifax. This time, we would pay a visit to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. (And keep shopping for books.) I had never been to the art gallery and Kathleen had not visited since 2017 after she returned from a job in…

If most of this roll can be said to have a theme, it’s waiting. Not in anticipation or anything like that, but rather for Metro Transit vehicles to show up during the somewhat spartan Sunday service. It was a real taste of home. Finished with our downtown zig-zag, we arrived at the ferry terminal just…

We landed in Halifax on Saturday at around 3:00, greeted by Kathleen’s mom and brother. The flight went entirely as expected, the only thing lingering in our minds was the looming possibility of a strike by Air Canada flight attendants. After getting settled in, I texted my mom to let her know we’ve arrived safely…
