Gone to see Europe. Semester at Sea. Fall 2012 Semester Voyage on the MV Explorer. Day 00: Halifax, Canada.
Walkabout in Halifax while waiting to board the Semester at Sea MV Explorer for the Fall 2012 Voyage. The MV Explorer was arriving from Boston with the Faculty and Staff for the Fall Voyage. There were lots of undergraduate students and their parents walking around downtown Halifax. Theodore Too and Lighthouse in the Halifax Harbor. The Theodore Too is an old tugboat that has been converted into a harbor tour boat. It looks like a cartoon character. We saw it go past the ship several times during the day. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V1 camera and 30-110 mm VR lens (ISO 100, 42.2 mm, f/5.6, 1/400 sec).
