Halifax Waterfront

As we strolled along the waterfront, we saw some of the old buildings like this one that have been converted into restaurants and stores.

Just like the painted horses, painted cows, and painted turtles in Corpus Christi, Halifax has painted dolphins.

They also had this plaque that appears to commemorate Giovanni Caboto’s arrival in Halifax.

The building on the right is the home that Alexander Keith built for his family so that he could be close to his work.

After we got in the car we drove up to the Citadel.  These are some old buildings across from the Citadel.
