We vacationed in Nova Scotia. It is breathtakingly beautiful! The people were very friendly and exceedingly polite - if you so much as look like you might want to cross at a crosswalk, all traffic screeches to a halt.

And of course, everybody wanted to know what the heck is going on in the US!

The very well maintained and well-loved Halifax Public Gardens was right across the street from the hotel where we stayed three nights. Here are some dahlias:

Yes, we would love to return!
