When the weather goes haywire while you’re on vacation, and the humidity levels in Halifax climb up to the mid-30s Celsius (or 106 Fahrenheit), you can sit around and sweat and feel like you’re going to die.
Or you can drive down the ocean and take a swim in the Atlantic Ocean and cool off for awhile.
The water was slightly chilly but it was very refreshing and it felt wonderful. I swam around and splashed with the kids and it made the day a little more bearable.
The fact that it completely renewed my spirit was a fantastic bonus.
Loving your photos- the Canadian East Coast is a bit of a knowledge void for me, so great to hear stories about it (one day I will read The Shipping News. I will…)
Even though I am not a “beach person”, there is something about living near a body of water- being able to go to the beach in summer, having it regulate your life. Enjoy

Oh, fantastic! Ha! My old stomping grounds. Now all we (both) have to do today is figure out how to beat the heat again. I’m almost wishing that hurricane would hurry up.
Those are some refreshing photos! It’s so hot in my room right now. I’d give anything to be swimming in that chill water.
