Halifax: Camp Hill Cemetery
30 mai 2022, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
What a gorgeous old burial ground!. And unlike the Old Burying Ground with it’s locked gates, Camp Hill Cemetery is like a vibrant city park. We saw joggers, dog walkers, and local as out for a stroll along the green walkways strewn with wildflowers. Very pleasant scene. Here are a few photos, but I will share more later.En savoir plus

We also visited the free public gardens in Halifax. It’s a traditional Victorian garden and very well-maintained. Today the scent of blossoms filled the air as we strolled through.

Halifax: Old Burying Ground
30 mai 2022, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
The Old Burying ground in Halifax, Nova Scotia was top of my “to see” list today, but there’s a big padlock on the only entry gate! Wah!

I still managed to get photos of a few headstones by leaning over the heavy iron fence. As you can see, there are some lovely death’s heads and classic memento mori symbols such as skulls and bones, and hourglasses.

The white metal you see bordering some of the stones is lead sheeting meant to keep water from seeping in the porous areas, then freezing and causing the stone to crumble.En savoir plus

Water Over My Transom
27 mai 2022, North Sea ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F
Larry and I are SO TIRED today! It’s like all the hubbub of trip prep, my writing deadlines, and the fun of having my sister visit caught up with us.

Reminds me of a following sea splashing over a transom when a boat suddenly slows down.

Three days into our big adventure and my favorite thing about this ship is the pool by the spa. Love the mellow vibe up there. It has an Asian theme with a Buddha overlooking the pool while mellow music plays. Very relaxing. We sit in a little gazebo right by the pool.

In contrast, the outdoor pool on the Lido Deck is full of oil-slathered sun worshipers who sprawl on chaise lounges while peppy rock music plays, the type of stuff you’d hear in a bar.

To each their own! (And I’m glad the ship accommodates both style of swimmer.)

Wonder how long it will take for Larry and I to get into the swing of things?En savoir plus

Two to TravelNothing wrong with taking a day off to recharge batteries and allow your brain to digest what you have experienced. Especially on long trips.

Home away from home

My husband, Larry, knows the drill. The moment we step into a hotel room, before we drop off our suitcases or flop onto the bed, I want a photo of the space. Same goes on a cruise ship.

It comes with being a travel writer. I might need that pic for an article. So here you go! This room is our home away from home for the next couple of months.

First-time cruise travelers are often startled by how small staterooms are, but I rather like it. My favorite thing about this particular room, however, is the window. We were expecting an inside room, which have no windows. Guess they upgraded us. Yee haw!

I love being able to see the water anytime. Maybe I’ll luck out and see dolphins along the way. Wouldn’t that be a treat?En savoir plus

Venice with Palm Trees?
26 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
From the sky, most American cities look the same; right angles and tangles of overpasses are the norm. Even farming country has telltale geometry, with rectangular borders and irrigation circles in shades of green and brown.

In the US, it’s unusual to see a modern city with such a circular, almost fractal look to it, but that’s Fort Lauderdale for you.

I remember reading that the famous (and rather eccentric) architect, Mizner, wanted this part of Florida to be “the Venice of the South.” I must say, that as we fly over Fort Lauderdale, I can really see the resemblance. Can you?En savoir plus
