July 22 - Halifax NS

Dropped off the RV this morning and when we called after lunch to see what the verdict was the man told us he forgot his employee who would be doing the work was on vacation this week so he was going to have to take the RV to the Dartmouth location – duh!  At 5 pm he hadn’t had a chance to take it to Dartmouth so hopefully it will be looked at tomorrow morning.  Does not engender a lot of faith!   

We got a rental car that picked us up at the repair place and we went back to the harbor front in Halifax to walk those areas we didn’t get to yesterday.  Saw an interesting brewery but decided not to pay the price for a tour so just walked and looked at what we could from the outside.

Then we drove to one of the cemeteries for victims of the Titanic; there were a total of 150 victims who were laid to rest here in Halifax.  It’s amazing how many graves just have a number and no name.  Some were eventually identified so their names were added to the memorial stone and some families choose to add a monument. 

A monument was made to the “unknown child” who was finally identified through DNA in 2011 and the actual name was added to a stone at the monument.  Quite a somber atmosphere when you look at the graves, understand what happened and how many poor souls have never been identified.

Today and tonight the temperature is perfect – of course, now that we don’t have the RV and a great campground beside water.  Tomorrow we hope to head to Lunenberg and to hear positive things about the RV!
