Halifax tonight, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean tomorrow!

I HAVE INTERNET! I'm in Halifax in Shea's hotel room using her internet/laptop.
Nova Scotia has been so beautiful and I've had a great time traveling with my family! I've taken way too many picture already (wait.. too many? no way!) The first day, we got a rental car (bright blue ghetto dodge charger..) and drove about an hour to our beautiful rental home outside of Halifax. It is surrounded by a bay on both sides with a great view of sailboats and other boats docked in the bay. There are ducks and seagulls everywhere! The neighborhood looks like a postcard and is very quaint! We've eaten great crab, lobster, and seafood chowder every single day :) Yesterday we went to ride the tidal bore (one of the 7 places in the world to do it) it's basically river rafting, but wayyyy different. It is very hard to explain it, but it was a once in a lifetime experience! Then, we went to a place called Peggy's Cove (We never found out who Peggy was...) and it is a breath taking lighthouse on the edge of Nova Scotia where all of the artists and photographers go. I wish I could upload photos but.. can't. There is so much more I could go on about but I think this is all the time I have! Tomorrow morning I get on the M.V. Explorer (which I saw a few hours ago, my stomached dropped, exciting!) and then sail away! In a week I'll be in Spain, crazy! I look forward to meeting so many people and just havin a good time with my cousin! And it allll begins in the morning :)
I miss everyone! Hopefully I'll write again soon!
