Halifax coffee shops/internet cafes

Sitting in a funky little internet café fair trade coffe shop complete with an international magazine store below.

The guys at the next table are from some band that are set to tour the UK next month. The ones from montreal are here performing at the fringe. Did I mention that Halifax is very artsy?

The lake is great but the Atlantic is even cooler outside of the harbour (a wee bit dirty...). We went to lunenberg yesterday with Liz and Paul and Norah - I am still amazed at the coloured houses - purples, greens, curry yellow, pumpkin, you name it.

We tried to stop in at the seafood shanty restaurant that we went to 6 years ago ( i was sick at the time and could not partake of their famous chowder) but it was closing in 5 minutes. We headed back towards lunenberg and grabbed some food at a local seafood joint that turned out to be owned by Germans from Bavaria. They even played eidelweiss on their muzak. schnitzel and sausages were on the menu as well as some great seafood.
