'Every night it's fireworks' ... in Hali!

(Travel Date: June 30th to July 6th)

Next stop on my summer adventures I found myself in Halifax, NS. Got a full 6 days to catch up with some friends from high school and a few childhood friends. The trip was way beyond what I could have imagined considering I did absolutely no planning - just bought the ticket when I found out about the chance to catch-up with more than one friend in a fun city - which can be a rarity!
Some of the trip highlights include:

A really fun bar 'The Lower Deck" two nights in a row to start the trip haha!


Saw the Canada Day Fire Works from the pier in Halifax.


Saw my old basketball club Transway play in Eastern Canadian Club championships. My old coach, Mr. Nurse, was coaching were nothing has seemed to change haha. And the 'Only reds on championship Sundays' was out in full affect as they breezed to a gold medal!


"The Original 5" made dinner and had a fun night out!


With new 'gang' member and surfing guide Missy, we enjoyed a day at the beach and went on my first surf experience.



And finally, met up with two of my best friends from grade school "Kat" and "Tuff" and was able to reminisce about the fact we literally spent every weekend with each other from grades 1 to 6 and the 'mischief' we would get in to haha.

All in all it was much a good trip that I'm so glad I got to go on. Just goes to show that living in the moment and taking advantage of unexpected opportunities really pays off :).
