Halifax, NS – Canada

A lively city with lots of nice small houses, all lined up between harbour and public parks.
I’m feeling somewhat comfortable here :)

I met some 80 year old guy from Liverpool at Tim Hortons. He started a conversation and told me that he came to Canada in 1967 to work at the Expo 67 and after that, he just stayed. Soon, he left MontrĂ©al because “it gets so damn cold in the winter that everything freezes up” and opted for Halifax for this city being a nice place and having excellent doctors. He declared that shortly after his retirement, he started working again, since sitting around doing nothing “just drives you nuts”. He would then volunteer at several facilities doing child care and helping homeless people. Up to a stroke, that hit him last year. But still!

Jardin Villemin – Paris, France

Had to travel to Paris last week for work and it was obvious to stay there for the weekend as well. While having the most beautiful weather, we enjoyed watching people enjoying their sunday afternoon :)

Venice, Italy

This guy apparently went shopping at Al Duca D’Aosta – as for us, we rather spent money on ice cream.

… mit Sahne, versteht sich ;)
