The sun streams across the Halifax Harbor below us as a cargo ship starts across the water. The Citadel stands quietly behind us, its bagpipes silenced until the tourists arrive in a few hours. Tonight the city will bustle with music and crowds under a full moon, but for now its deserted streets call me for a walk. The birthday girl, eighteen since 2:01 a.m., sleeps soundly in this luxury executive suite that we acquired quite by accident, thanks to an on-time arrival before our own room was ready.
It's been an exhilarating week: walks along red-beach coastlines and lupine-strewn dunes, kayaking with cormorants, meanderings through charming cities, boating to an uninhabited island, soaking up history and natural beauty. I will be inundating this journal with images of lighthouses and beaches for deacdes to come!

Looking forward to all the pictures.
Can't wait to see the lighthouses and beaches. Love 'em! (One of my favorite places is Cape Cod.) Happy b'day to the young 'un (old 'un). Enjoy your time with her. Relating to our offspring as they grow and mature is one of the greatest gifts we are offered.
Will take some time to read all the entries I have missed, Ocean. Oh, it's good to be back!
