I left Toronto over the Thanksgiving weekend, and flew back to my East coast city of Halifax. I was so excited to see all my friends and family, and to eat the best meal of the year.
Sunday morning, my Mother and I decided to be tourists in our own city. We started our adventure on the top of Halifax, at Citadel Hill, then worked our way down to the waterfront.

This is Argyle St., where an assortment of restaurants, pubs, and cute stores are located. There is even a theatre that puts on amazing plays and musicals, called Neptune Theatre.
If anyone was wondering why my little car is an automatic, it's because of hills like the one in the picture above. This isn't the steepest hill in Halifax, and you won't catch me driving a standard anytime soon.
These are skyscrapers, Halifax style!
This is my favourite spot in the city. The Old Triangle Pub is a picturesque Irish pub with amazing food and great beer on tap. My friends and I go to this pub whenever we're in the downtown area.
My Mother and I finished our adventure like typical Haligonians, with beer at our favourite Irish pub. It was very refreshing to walk around the city and take in the sights. I take the beauty of Halifax for granted. It took moving half way across the country for me to truly understand the beauty and pull of Halifax.
