Canada Tour

Of all the Atlantic Provinces, Nova Scotia was the one which I saw the least of. I drove straight into Halifax and spent a week with my friend, Andy Corkum, who I'd met in London during my year bartending there. Great guy. He and his family showed me a ton of cool stuff in the area, and cooked the first lobster that I'd ever eaten. One of the places we went to was the hugely famous Peggy's Cove, pictured here. They say it's the most painted place in the world. It's very picturesque, and very unique, in spite of being in a part of the country where there are more fishing villages than fishermen.

Halifax. What a great city. It's extremely modern, but has a great historic waterfront area. And, of course, it is the city with the most bars per capita in all of Canada. You can imagine what a good time I had there! I was lucky to be there during the international buskers festival, which provided constant free entertainment in the waterfront area. It was my only major stop in the country before driving up through the northern part of the province, Cape Breton Island, on my way to Newfoundland. This is another one of those areas that I didn't get a chance to see much of, and next time I visit I plan to spend some serious time seeing what I've heard is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Canada.
