Today was a great day touring around Nova Scotia. Nicole and I were on the same tour: the Halifax Culture tour. We started at the Citadel, went to Dalhousie University and Kings College, then off to the Art Gallery and a really cool drive/sail on the "Harbour Hopper", an amphibious vehicle that took us on a tour downtown and then right into the water! It was really cool. The kids were all on different tours from one another, but they all came back with neat things to tell us about their exciting days. I am really impressed with the tours this year - there truly was something for everyone! I hope that all of the kids phoned or emailed their families to tell details about their tours - I'm sure they'll have a lot to share with you all!
After we got back to Truro, we went out for a "night on the town". We had dinner at a restaurant called Damascus, then went shopping at the mall. I've included a couple photos on the Flickr site of us having fun at dinner.
Tomorrow the students have a morning of school and public tours. In the afternoon we have the awards ceremony, a fancy dinner, and the "grand ball" dance. On Saturday there is public viewing again until noon, and then we'll be packing up as soon as the visitors leave. The bus we've chartered with several other groups will be picking us up at 1pm to take us in to Halifax for our "field trip". Everyone is really looking forward to it.

Hi Tracy,
It looks as though you are having a great time. Did you get new shoes when you went shopping, because it looks as though you have put many miles on yours.
Love,
Mom
