My husband Michael and I went home to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada for a few weeks to visit family and friends.  We stayed at a perfect Airbnb loft apartment in Eastern Passage that is everything I know to be and love of Nova Scotian living!!

While visiting family and friends we drank locally brewed and famous for, Keith’s Beer. Surfed the waves (well tried to!!) at Lawrencetown Beach. Had a stop in Mahone Bay for delicious homemade seafood dishes.  Sea kayaked to McNabs Island and Fisherman’s Cove. Picked strawberries in Wolfville. Went to a yoga class in Dewolf Park along the Bedford Basin.  Went for a walk along the Halifax Waterfront and took in many of the familiar sights that make the city of Halifax, Halifax!!

This is just a wee taste of all the beauty Nova Scotia has to offer. I’m proud to be from Nova Scotia and call her call my homeland……..

Love, Stephanie
