Antigonish

This is Tofi, the dog that was found on a beach in Tofino by Diane that was lost and had no owner. Sometimes when he goes for a walk he doesn’t want to come in so plays dead outside the front door –

We drove the scenic route in Bijon’s nice BMW which goes pretty fast so the journey time was only 3.5 hours at an average speed of 140km/h I reckon.

The next day Bijon and myself drove back to Halifax on the main road rather than the scenic route. We saw this truck that was indicating to us that we should overtake on the gravel road trap, although we didn’t do it –

Today I visited the Halifax Citadel which was the first massive British Empire miltary base in Nova Scotia. Here are some guys pretending to fire the gun –

You can’t get away from the UK

I visited a couple of the surf shops in the town and one of them was selling the Red Bull Ice Break DVD that Daria’s brother is in. Here is a small preview of that DVD –
