Tuesday, July 9th we drove to Moncton, New Brunswick to witness the Bay of Fundy's Tidal Bore. As we sat in the little viewing park in downtown Moncton, we couldn't image that this little 15 inch wave could be much. But, when it came whipping around the corner and past us--we were impressed--have never seen anything quite like it. Pictures just don't tell the whole story.

| Tidal Bore viewing area--we all wait patiently! |

| John wanders around taking pictures and I sit. |
 |
| So here it is whipping along filling the narrow bay with water. |
 |
Would have liked to be out there in a kayak.
|
That afternoon we drove to Halifax, Nova Scotia. We took the scenic route along the coast and it was beautiful. John bid on a hotel room on Priceline.com and we scored a fabulous Mariott room right on the waterfront--yay!
 |
The harbour in front of our hotel was full of all kinds of boats. This is a double ended ferry boat. Without ever turning around it's always going forward (or backward) depending on how you see things.

 |
| Up the hill from Water Street is Argyle Street and lots of nice eateries. We stopped here at the Economy Shoe Store , had some snacks and drinks and played dominoes. |
 |
| Nice boat in the Halifax Harbour |
 |
| And nice sailboats too. |
 |
| This one has a load of tourists out for a sunset cruise. |
