We spent the day downtown Halifax starting with the Citadel on the hill.
The Citadel is located on a hill overlooking Halifax and was used to protect the harbor. It was a active fort until the end of the second world war.
These are college students that re-enact the life at the fort in the 1800's We talked with them to get a feel for life back then.
One guard acts as a sentry at the main gate. His shift lasts a hour and then he has two hours off to rest. Much as in other sentries we have seen he will not acknowledge you in any way while he is on duty.
We walked down the hill for a bite of lunch and then back up where we had this view of the city clock. Some more time in the forts museums and then it was back home to put our feet up and rest. Tomorrow is the Bay of Fundy.
More from there.
