Buongiorno! Buon Sabato!  How are you doing? We started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good "Sumatran Blend", and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. I am also enjoying a nice (biscotti) with my coffee.  It is a chilly morning here in the valley of Tucson.

I am caring for Chris today up until 5:00pm when Sister Jayne arrives. Alexa is awake and she said that I don't have any tasks to complete today. She did remind me that we are going to a birthday party this evening for our next-door neighbor.

My playmate and I went to the "Loft" yesterday to see the movie "Tar". It was excellent with fantastic acting and action.

Hey, how about those "Phillies". It was a very good World Series game, and my team pulled it off. Go Phillies!

Here is what happened on our cruise on 14 Oct. Enjoy!

14 Oct Halifax, Canada.

We started the morning off with breakfast in the "Garden Cafe". We enjoyed omelets and beans.

We went ashore and we wandered through various shops. We picked up t-shirts and other items to buy.

After that we got on the Hop on-Hop off bus tour that we purchased. It took us all over Halifax. Our guide talked about the bringing of the dead bodies of the Titanic disaster to be buried here. The Titanic sank right off of Newfoundland. We also were informed that many planes were diverted here after 9-11.

Plus, there was a big explosion here in the late 1800's, that was almost as big as the Atomic Bomb in Japan. It decimated the town, and it killed 2000 people instantly. Remnants of the explosion is still visible today. After the tour we found a pizza place and we enjoyed pizza and beer. It was delicious.

We returned to our cabin. Later we sat in O'Sheehan's Bar for about three hours. We enjoyed watching the bartenders at work. Of course, while we were sitting and watching we had not one, not two, but three Jack and Cokes. Th bartenders worked like maniacs to cover the crowd's orders. The guy sitting next to Elise wanted to hire one of the Filipino bartenders to come and work for him in the USA. The bartender said that he 9 months on the ship and 3 months at home and that they pay is not that great. Elise told the guy sitting next to her that at least they have a job and the guy (sniffed).   

At around 8:30pm we went up to the "Garden Cafe" to get some food. We got ice cream a two "White Russians" to take our cabin. We are set for the night. A good day in Halifax.  Here are a few pictures! Enjoy!
