We had to be up early today as the grad ceremonies were at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium at Dalhousie University in Halifax at 10:00 AM, about 11/2 hours from Berwick. Great to have a GPS as we just typed in the address of the Cohn Auditorium and it took us right to the front door. NOW to try and find some parking!!! Good thing we got there about 3/4 of an hour early. Not bad though, after circling around we got parking within about 3 blocks. Even though we were early all the main seating was taken so we went up onto the balcony level. The view was great from there but not so good for pictures. What an exciting time for all the Grads. Gable and his girlfriend Emily both looked great in their cap and gown!
Well you just can't come to NS without going out to Peggy's Cove. Even though we have been there several times it is still so awesome to see the waves breaking onto the rocks. This time we stopped also in Indian Cove at a place called "Peggy of the Cove" it is a museum/gift store and what an interesting fellow Ivan Fraser who has started the business in the home he grew up in. He has lived there all his life (64 years).
Irene bought a book from him that he wrote about a girl they called Peggy who was the only survivor of a shipwreck. She couldn't remember her name so the people who adopted her called her Peggy. Rick did some wheeling and dealing and we came away with a signed ltd edition hard cover book, 2 print pictures, a CD and a T-shirt for $40.
Nice graduation pictures, good memories. The people that got the good seats must have arrived hours earlier than you.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Peggy's Cove twice and really enjoyed it. Just something about the place that is so inviting.
