Well. I have arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia after over 8 hours of flying. We had a connection at JFK. Halifax iteslef a beautiful city that is remarkably developed... but with an older twist to it. Funny enough, the customs guy actually told me that Halifax has the highest per capita amount of bars anywhere in the wold. NUTS!
On another note, most of the countryside has been untouched by man, with trees expanding into every direction. It is incredible, and reminds me of an incredilby flat Alaksa. Pristine.
The city, unremarkably, is slightly different than the natural lands with two large bridges spanning the bay and giant shipping vessels dotting the dockyards. It has a sort of classic Manhattan, "old-time" feel to it. I like it.
I post this blog via email. It is test (mail2blogger), so I guess it worked if you're reading this! YES! Email is the only free communication I'll have aboard the ship, so this feature is a great tool to have.
Stay tuned! We embark on our journey around the world this Friday aboard the MV Explorer. I board with the first group at 8 A.M. Yucky.
And BTW, Archbishop Desmond Tutu will be joining us for the ENTIRE voyage. Sick wid it.
Take care y'all!!!!
