Halifax, Nova Scotia
This has been a cruise of extremes. The captain has never had to deal with three hurricanes in one transatlantic journey. At the same time, he has never had such wonderful weather for our two days in Greenland.
We arrived in Halifax just before noon yesterday to bright sunshine and warm temperatures. And today promises to be the same.
Halifax is a lovely city built on hills that climb upward from the magnificent harbor, which has been transformed into a vast playground of restaurants, shops, and museums. The city is home to two major universities and has a youthful population well supplied with pubs, clubs,and bars. I will post pictures later today.

At home in Tucson, AZ, since 2005, I live with my partner of over 47 years--and husband of six years--Will Feathers. I grew up in New York City (1947-67), earned my BA from CUNY in 1967 and my PhD in English from Indiana University/ Bloomington in 1974. I served on the full-time faculty of the English Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, from 1971 to 2004 (33 years), when I accepted an offer for early retirement. Last year (April 2022), we sold our house and moved into an Independent Living Senior Retirement Community in Tucson, where we have made many new friends.
