07/23/13 - Truro in the Morning and Drive to Halifax in the Afternoon

We heard about the Berlin Wall Sections and the Tree Sculptures in Truro. Amazingly found  that such historical item like Berlin Wall Sections can be seen in a little town like Truro.  Since it doesn’t have beautiful appealing to most of Truro residences, it had been moved to Dalhousie University campus.  We visited it for its historic value.  Truly, it is not physically appareling.  

We spotted one of the Tree Sculptures at a corner of a supermarket’s parking lot.  If we did not ask locals, we would never know it is a sculpture made from a dead tree trunk.  

We took a leisure drive to Halifax in the afternoon.  After we checked into the hotel, we went down to the waterfront to visit the boardwalk.  We were not impressed by Halifax.  The road leads to Halifax downtown is hard to follow and the downtown streets are pretty narrow and old.  The downtown is nothing comparing to any US mid-size town.  It rained in the afternoon, we could not enjoy the walk on the boardwalk.  We could not find any shops in downtown worth to shop either.  Therefore, we drove to a Roots outlet store to shop clothes as souvenirs for our granddaughter (who was born in Canada).
