On the ship, boys are working and girls are enjoying the ride !




Welcome aboard ! Welcome to Halifax Harbour !

Hello Captain !

The weather was warmer, the captain was friendly, the crew was smiling, the boat was made of wood and they were shutting off the engine a hundred yards away from the docks. That was perfect !

In Bedford Institute, there are all kind of animals !!!

To get to the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, we took the city bus. On our way back it was starting to rain so we jumped on the first bus passing by. I have to mention that it was going on the wrong direction ! So we spent almost 45 minutes before to reach the Bridge Terminal and be able to switch to the next one. Some made a short nap...

Sid The Kid

That's it. She's in love. He comes from Cole Harbour, plays hockey, looks awesome and he's $$$$$$$.
In the Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame, we watched a movie on Sidney Crosby and we've been able to play soccer and hockey against a virtual goalie. Even Ariel was able to shoot beside the net at soccer.
The subway test ! Come on guys order...faster it's going to be cold ! It's doable, even Ann-So says: «It's easy !» after, at the Youth hostel !!!!!
After Andy Smith, it was so cold that we went for a hot chocolate and just in front we had the chance to buy magazines. Some chose hockey, other ONE DIRECTION no surprises !

Yes, it was simple but it was sandwiches for lunch, with a reliable Lipton soup !
Time for grocery ! Everyone got something to find in the grocery and... a price to check !
The ghost tour with Andy Smith was funny and interesting. Even if it was cold, the students were well behaved but Andy deserved some credit because he makes sure he's interesting.

Ann-So said that the stories were scarry ! And she added that it was not just her but the other girls too !

The last Halifax meeting of the day

After a bit of a movie, some music listenings, and few visits on the blog, it's time for the last meeting of the day. What we call «the Halifax meetings». A wrap up of the day, feelings, good behaviour, Félix's stomach aches, I Pods rules for the nights, alarm clock time, departure time for the restaurant,...

Colgate and Good night !

Is Pizza and soft drink «École en santé» ?

As a tradition we go for easy supper after this long ride in the train: pizza at the end of the block !

Groopies !

They got autographs, pictures... that  might worth someting later!
We met a musician on the train who invited all us to a little concert in the cantine cart. With his guitar he sang a dozen of songs and some requests from the students. A great moment. Living in Seattle WA, he was going back home in Halifax for a serie of shows, launching his new album. Listen to the first song he perfomed to us called Texas Tea, by Jon Bryant.

Stressed ? Excited ? Nervous ? Happy ? Lucky ? Proud ? ... but smiling !
On the train, it's time for girly girly pictures, lots of pictures.
What ? We are already there ! I don't realize it !
