 It's Tall Ships weekend!!!!!!!! I'm quite excited to see the ships again and there is quite a lot going on in the city as well. There's an Indigenous display on the waterfront where there should be lots of music and costume and that's always colourful. There are the ships of course, and they're free to go on board and have a look around. There are free concerts by local bands all weekend. There is a small island in the harbour that used to be fortified and it's cleaned up and open to the public this weekend though you have to buy a ticket for the transportation and entrance I think. Might do that, might not. hiking around it, though small, is all hills! Fireworks every night. I want to see them at least once, with the ships lit up for the night as well. There's a parade of the crew of the ships, that's a "maybe". I'm taking Monday and Tuesday off because I won't be fitting it all in one day. Tuesday is the Parade of Sail where the ships come down the harbour and back out in full sail. Gorgeous! 

One woman on the bus today said something like "you've seen them once, what's the point of seeing them again".. I can't get enough of them. It's one of my top favourite things about Halifax, the tall ships events every few years. I'll be paying for all that walking, though, because my heel is still sore though there's some improvement. I'll probably be back to square one by Wednesday though if i'm smart, when i do get home after the day out, i'll get the ice out and ice my foot down. That should keep ahead of it some. Home to charge up my camera batteries!

In addition, I think we're going to see that Valerian movie, probably tomorrow since it's looking like a bit overcast and showery. We can play that by ear. If it's not bad when we get out of the movie, we can always go down to the waterfront for a first look at the ships.
