Below - a picture of Halifax harbour taken from our hotel room.
We did so much shopping that we had to rest our poor little feet before we head out for supper last evening.
We can't go to Halifax without slipping into Pete's Frootique for a few exotic items. Below is a picture of Dave and Ginette outside the Frootique.
When Dave was a little boy his family lived in Halifax for a while. His father was the caretaker at Saint Paul's Church (pictured below). Dave was happy to re-visit his younger days grounds.
Then, sadly we had to bid our farewells to Ginette as she headed back to Moncton and us to Clare.

I downloaded the video to have a better look at the show DRUM that you saw. WOW, is all I have to say. When I did my drum making workshop, Bahnii told us that her culture doesn't really agree with her teaching "white people" how to make drums; but she said she believes it is absolutely right for her to teach this to anyone who is interested -- after all, every culture in every land has their own drum; it is not exclusive to natives peoples. I love how this show (DRUM) unites them so beautifully. I love the sound of the drum; it is the heartbeat of humanity!!
Colleen, you would have loved Drum. The Natives had such a close bond with us Acadians (and other cultures in Nova Scotia). A lot of our traditions come from the Natives. We have so much to be grateful to these people. The Natives had the beat of the drum and the beat of the Earth. That's it... two beats. The beat of the drum reassembles the heartbeat.
