First ever "Happy You're Not Dead Day!"
Well, this trip to Halifax turned out to be a pretty good idea. This might end up being one of those recaps but I'm not sure yet.
I frantically got my things together for the bus ride at 2pm, which if you think about it shouldn't require me to be quite so frantic, but what can I say? I procrastinate. And, of course, with about 20-30 minutes left to make the bus, I called my girlfriend. Yeah, I know.
So I eventually got on said bus. I took my tiger, but I could tell he was _not happy_ at first, so I had to take him out of the bad. I think he might be claustrophobic. Well, at any rate, the bus started crossing the Mackay bridge in Halifax, and I remember thinking, "You know, maybe today's not that big of a deal." I also do remember the trees looking pretty breathtaking below that bridge.
So for the most part, nothing eventful happened for awhile. I was picked up my Jus and Ali, who greeted me with a manly hug (you can try and pick out who did that). We then went to pick up Eddie, who decided to bring a friend along. So, for the most part it was just rudimentary hanging out for awhile. We played Wizard (well, maybe "played" Wizard is more appropriate), hung out a bit, and went out to eat. I am missing the part where I came in and there were balloons absolutely everywhere(and party hats!). Well, considering the two of them only have the lung capacity of a small child (between them), that was astoundingly impressive.
We went out for food, which ended up being a much longer endeavour than I thought. The original plan was the Economy Shoe Shop, but that place was packed like a shoe shop when we went into it (I am fully aware that this analogy makes no sense). So, we wandered. Justin and I soon realised if we were ever going to eat, it was going to be up to us to find somewhere (the two non-Haligonians at that). So, we wandered around randomly and Fate took us to the Henry House. Oh, somewhere around here, I may have been flashing my wallet at random people saying "I'm a teacher." And the Freak Lunchbox as well. I got some peach penguins, which aren't really orange and only moderately peach. Ali got Smarties (wtf?), and Eddie picked up some Skattles.
The Henry House was most impressive, I must say. They had micro-brewery beer, which I normally can't stand but these were most impressive. I started with the "Peculiar" (well, I figured it was fitting) and moved on to the "Ringwood". The meal was haddock, aka the special, aka it was awesome. So we ate that and left.
Well, I finally hear rumbings from the other room, so I'm going to have to contintue this later. DOn't worry, I'm only leaving out the best parts ^^
