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!

On June 10th, I will begin my adventure by going to Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada, with the family for a few days. On June 15, I'll be getting on a cruise ship, the MV Explorer, with about 600 other students, including my cousin Shea! We will depart in Halifax to begin an amazing voyage of discovery.
We will be traveling to Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, then we arrive in Virginia!
More posts once the enrichment voyage begins!
