We're Here, We're Queer, We Don't Want Any More Bears!

Hello folks, it's been a while, and I've got some new news. First things first, Julie's mom gave me a backpacking haircut, as seen below. Maybe this week, I'll shave my beard?

Since my last update, there's been a lot of rain, so we haven't done a whole lot. We spent a day in the city, spent a day swimming in Julie's neighbours' pool, and we went to Shubenacadie wildlife park.

To start things off, here's a couple of photos of Halifax. The city's got a really great downtown, with lots of local businesses and restaurants, serving pretty much anything you can think of. For example, the Freak Lunchbox specializes in old, hard-to-find candies.

We met up with Julie's friends Ashley and Jeffrey, and had some Cows Ice Cream, which was excellent. Wandering down around the harbour, we ran into Theodore the Tugboat, which blew my mind a little.

Shubenacadie Wildlife Park was pretty neat. It's mostly just animals from in and around Nova Scotia, but most of the animals you don't see all that often. Just as some examples, we saw:

Peacocks

Raccoons

Bobcats

Skunks

Groundhogs

Eagles

Horny Birds (This one peacock was chasing other birds all over the park)

Cougars

Whatever This Thing Is

Evil Owls

Caribou (check out the rack on this thing)

Reminders Not To Touch The Waterfowl

And of course, Bears

We had a great time, saw plenty of animals, and Julie found her distant cousin Wilbear.

That's all for now. Signing out from Nova Scotia, this is Christian van Someren.
