Halifax is a beautiful city. I'd love to live there someday (though maybe I'd regret it come winter). Here are some pictures:
Apparently Halifax has the most pubs per capita in North America, and was populated only because residents were promised free booze for a year. My kind of place.
The Keith's brewery is there, obviously.
Alexander Keith, who was a mayor of Halifax in addition to brewing average-tasting beer, is buried in this graveyard:
We saw Anonymous protesting Scientology. One sign said "honk if you oppose Scientology", but I was on a tour bus at the time, so I just sorta made a honking motion in the air. Because seriously, fuck Scientology.
Peggy's cove, a tiny fishing/tourism village just outside Halifax, is gorgeous. Look:
This girl was chasing two ducks and some giant mutant duck-goose-thing in a prom dress. She was laughing as she tortured the poor birds, while other nicely dressed people took pictures. It was all very surreal.
What the fuck is that thing?
Anyway, Halifax was probably my favourite part of the trip, because I did lots of fun things and ate lots of delicious foods and met lots of awesome people. You should go.

I enjoyed the pictures! I'll always regret not taking more time for sightseeing when I visited Halifax.
I would be interested in reading more about your research. There seem to be connections between paranormal experiences and magnetic fields, as well as paranormal experiences and creativity. So I'm curious about what you've learned. Email me at annalisa@publicparapsychology.org.
Curious, is your research based on some sort of clinical trails or "experiment" you have conducted or is it based primarily on existing research and literature?
Also, did you have a chance to try Propeller beer?
Annalisa: Yep, there are definitely connections with parapsychology there. I'll email you.
Kevbo: It can't properly be called an experiment (since it was all correlational), but it was based on original research that I conducted.
My memory is fuzzy, but I do believe I had Propeller beer. It was some sort of dark Guiness-like beer that was quite good. Ah! Propeller Bitter! Thanks Google!
We went to Halifax last year and loved it too!
I am so happy you are back, love.
And my blog is broken!!!!!!!!!!!!
:(
WTF AG? It's not so much broken as nonexistent. I just get a 404 error when I try to go. :(
Ohhh, the pictures are so pretty. It looks lovely there.
Nice pictures. I have to say, Nova Scotians (in general) are very proud of where they come from. They certainly love their precious "Keets".
the best thing is that Keiths isnt even that great of a beer, its mediocre at best
Hey! There's a picture of us protesting! :D
I am the guy wearing the pirate costume all the way to the left. :)
The one with the black vest and the white puffy shirt! ^___^
Thanks for spreading the word.
