Outdoor weekend

Last weekend was a fun weekend. Although I had my first two guest in my new apartment, two girls, but they were in really good manner so I was pretty happy in all.

6 friends came from Fred to have their vacation here in Halifax. Matt, Yuan and I were the hosts. It's not really a big thing for them to stay in whose place but Matt was just exthausted after their gone. Anyway...

We went to the public garden on Saturday afternoon before dinner. Took some pictures. It's just a place for relax. If I live on SG road, I may go there for a break everyday.

Sunday we went to Cape Split. It was a totally unexpected experience. OK we were expecting something like Funday Bay National Park in NB but this time, we went into a real walking tral. Mud and grass all the way, hard to walk, or I should say struggle. We saw a white girl fully loaded walked by, and some people bringing their dog there. Wild. Totally wild. Look at us, we were in causual clothes, in the mood of going to someplce not tough at all... Several of us dirt our clothes and shoes, some are even damaged, but in all, it is the first realy hiking experience for most of us, and it's FUN! We went to the "beach" nearby. It's a beach all covered by small rock and wet mud...Nothing fun at all...

Monday we suppose to go to Crystal Beach which is said to be a real beach, but we end up in the mall for 2 hours and then...Peggy's Cove again...

Well...I guess that's one side of Canadian tourism, totally natural. There are lots of natural sights in China too, but at least in here, it's not a big crowd with plastic bags everywhere.
