Title Goes Here

Darcy here, (Daniel is making me blog at gun point)

Here is what I've been up to.

We got our stuff on Wednesday morning, finally at long last, and we've been working on unpacking that.  We're stuck at an impasse at the moment though, because we have a complete lack of shelving, and the majority of our stuff is books.  Also, the places where we want to put things have boxes in them, which makes for a sad catch 22 of unpacking.

I was stuck at home a lot while Daniel was at school, and for several days, we didn't have the internet, or anything that we didn't bring with us in the car, so I had nothing to do but wander around Dartmouth. (Now that we have the internet I just spend all day on it looking at cat pictures so clearly my life is better with the internet)

I took a walk around all the places that I had been, and took a camera with me, because I didn't think to bring one with me the first time. So first I walked Daniel to the bus stop. On the way to the bus stop we have to pass through The Dartmouth Commons which we access by walking through a graveyard

 

You can't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a grave yard. Which is pretty fortunate because you hit a good place to leave that cat.

This grave yard (and other's we've seen I assume) have some totally old gravestones. This is from the 1800s.

Here is The Commons. You can see the ocean from it. Also, it is dog friendly.

It has trees and stuff.

  And my final picture of The Commons is the gate to leave them.

Gate!!!

 Then in the afternoon I headed out to THE OCEAN!!!!!!! and some other things in that direction.







I have been trying to capture the steepness of the hill that our house is on, but I don't think you can capture with a camera how steep it is.

Another graveyard about ten feet from the first grave yard I showed you. Like I said, dead cat etc.

This grave yard is on a hill like all of Dartmouth.

Portland street. The main downtowny part of Dartmouth.

THE SEA!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, the bridge to Halifax that Daniel takes everyday. I have yet to go on this bridge.

Some large body of water.

I guess this water is majestic. If you like that sort of thing.

The ferry to Halifax, which I have taken. The ferry has been running from Dartmouth to Halifax since like 1837. There is your fun historic fact of the blog post.

More ocean.

A wharf.

Also a Worf. Pretty Majestic. Look at all that majesty. 

Here I tried to capture the sunlight sparkling off the ocean.

A sweet park that over looks the ocean that I have waxed poetic about.

This is how it over looks it.

This is the creme de le creme of the park...(ellipses for tension!!) What is this strange pyramid???

It is the World Peace Pavilion. This is not a very good picture but there is like a rock from maybe almost all the countries in the world. Or at least the ones that matter ...I guess it made me not want to start a war. I guess. 

Unfortunately, this sweet ship I saw from the Peace Pavilion made me want to be a pirate so mission not accomplished.

I took this picture because there is a big big boat out there by Georges Island (like the mad king). Yup. That's a big boat all right.

Still trying to show you guys the hills. Also, I am on my way home from my secret love THE SEA!!!

On my way home I saw this vet office with animals all over it.

Also, on my way home I got lost and I ended up in this park. The water you see is Sullivan's Pond and it's a pretty nice little park.

Swans

The is this little island with a totem pole and house.

Ducks!!

More hill.

Hill!!!

And finally, here is what the outside of our house look like. We are the top two windows on the far side.

So, as soon as we get the house in some semblance of order we'll show you the insides.

That is all.
