Lobster!

Yesterday was basically the last day I got to explore Halifax, the big thing Tamara and I planned to do was finally got out for lobster.  There is this restaurant called Salty's which is right on the water that Maureen had recommended to us.  (picture is the view from our table)

There were two choices that we were debating, one was the full lobster, and the other was the surf and turf which was half a lobster and a steak (and potatoes, veggies, etc.) so since neither of us had ever had lobster we decided to go with the surf and turf.  OMG it was BEYOND delicious. 

The meat was like cooked perfectly and the lobster tasted so good.  It was good though that we just got the little one, because neither of us would have known how to get the meat out of a full lobster.  The entire meal was just like literally perfect.  And considering the quality of the food and service it wasn't THAT expensive.  I'd love for my parents and uncle and aunt to be able to come up here sometime.  Nothing quite like lobster that is caught in the harbour right outside.

After dinner we did a little bit of shopping, since the restaurant was on the other side of town we ended up missing The Magic Flute (sorry guys!).  So I had to get some cards for the stage director and music director.  We also went to an ice cream place called COWS which I literally couldn't eat because it was SO good and I was SO full haha.  But the COWS location on Prince Edward Island is considered the best ice cream in the world.

Next time I'm in Nova Scotia I think I'm going to try and schedule a flight or roadtrip with other people to go to Prince Edward Island (the home of Anne of Green Gables).  Its not THAT far it's mainly that I don't have access to a vehicle.  Maybe next year other people will want to band together and take a trip! I mean who doesn't want to see a bunch of touristy stuff related to this little girl...

Today is the final performance of both The Tales of Hoffmann and The Magic Flute.  It's so bittersweet, I'm excited to come back to the states and see my friends and family (and stop paying these RIDICULOUS sales taxes), but I am sad to leave the new friends that I've made and to close this wonderful show.
