As soon as we arrived in Halifax earlier this afternoon, we decided to start exploring. As we were driving around the city, we noticed some interesting museums and Art Galleries. Along our travels, we decided to stop at the Anna Leo

nowens Gallery. I must say, it's a FABULOUS gallery which showcases many different artists' paintings. Here are some pictures:

Also while on our journey through the city, we stopped at Bishops Park for a nice relaxation during the hectic day. While in the park, we sat on the benches and watched the birds fly by and enjoyed the fresh air of Halifax. Here's a picture (12):

Today was overall a pretty hectic day but tomorrow will be relaxing. I plan on going to church with my family seeing as tomorrow will be Sunday and possibly going to the War Museum. Who knows what tomorrow will bring!
