Halifax

Finally in Nova Scotia

 

 

Here's the sign to our campground. The only one in the Halifax area. It's actually in the Dartmouth.

On the way to the Credit Union for Canadian money, we found this unique Veterinary Hospital.

 

They even make housecalls!

 

Canadian money is quite colorful and unique, with a hologram stripe to discourage counterfeiting.

They are embossed with brail.

Fairview Lawn Cemetery

 

Here, in Halifax rest the remains of 150 victims of the Titanic.

Several more are buried in a local Jewish cemetery.

 

 

 

All bodies recovered received a number. If they knew the identity of the person, their name was

engraved on the top of the headstone. If identified later, the name was engraved on the front of the stone. If never identified, only a number marks their passing.

 

Some families provided other headstones with appropriate inscriptions
