Halifax - The Middle


Our next stop was Montreal (for 30 mins) and Quebec City. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos there but it was interesting to be in such an old city. There were 400 year anniversary celebrations going on in the downtown with an interesting light show and fireworks. After walking through vieux Quebec we retired to our hotel to rest for the next day of driving.
The next day we drove straight through New Brunswick and on to Charlottetown. The entire province of Prince Edward Island has a very small town feel to it, Charlottetown included of course. The top image is Confederation Bridge which joins New Brunswick and P.E.I.
Below is a photo of St. Dunstan's Basilica in Charlottetown. It was surprising to me how religion seems to be more prevalent in small towns. This church towered over any other building in Charlottetown. It was even larger than any we saw in Halifax (though I think Quebec City wins the round). And last in a photo of a snail on a typical red P.E.I. rock.
