Welcome to the first day of fall.
We went back to Peggy's Cove for some more 
pictures then toured out on many side roads to the ends of the capes. We ended up at the Citadel in Halifax, a gateway to Canada's military heritage and passage to nationhood. It was once the command post and landward bastion of Halifax's defences and principal British naval station in North America. Since Halifax's founding in 1749, Citadel Hill has served as the site of four different forts. Each was built during a time of perceived threat. This Citadel took over 28 years to complete (1856) was intended to deter an overland assault on the city & dockyard. No enemy ever dared to attack.
