Point Pleasant Park

In August, we went to Point Pleasant Park (which is on the southern tip of Halifax) to see two plays by Shakespeare by the Sea Theatre Company: Treasure Island and Twelfth Night. The girls had a great time and so did we. We hadn't gone to a play in a long time.

The first time we went, we had time during the break to visit the Prince of Wales Tower, built in 1796. But at the end of the performance, we had to run back to the bus stop since it was 3PM and we hadn't had any lunch and didn't have time to walk around the park. The second time we had more time to walk a little before the bus came and we found the beach. Since we hadn't eaten this time either, we had to go. We want to go back another time, but since it is getting windy and chilly now, I think we'll have to wait for next summer to visit the park again.

En agosto fuimos a Point Pleasant Park (en la punta sur de Halifax) a ver dos obras de teatro: La Isla del Tesoro y Noche de Epifanía. A las niñas les gustó mucho y a nosotros también. Ya teníamos tiempo de no ir al teatro.

La primera vez que fuimos, pudimos visitar la torre del Príncipe de Wales, construida en 1796. Pero al final de la obra tuvimos que salir corriendo a alcanzar el autobús porque ya era tarde y no habíamos comido. Así que no pudimos caminar por el parque. La segunda vez, tuvimos tiempo de caminar un poco y encontramos la playa. Pero como tampoco habíamos comido antes de venir, nos tuvimos que ir. Queremos volver al parque y a la playa, pero como ya está haciendo mucho viento y la temperatura está bajando, creo que tendremos que esperar al próximo verano.

And we're back!

After several months of living offline we're back to our virtual world. Many things have happened while I haven't been keeping our blog. We have taken pictures of some of those things, but not many. At least not as many as I used to take. And the few pictures that we have taken are in different folders in my computer or in Diego's, or in facebook, and we have also lost some. So, it's time to bring back some order to our lives and therefore I'm bringing this blog back to life. But the main reason for having our blog up and running is to help us keep in touch with family and friends, since not all of them are in facebook.


Después de varios meses desconectados de nuestro mundo virtual, estamos de vuelta. Muchas cosas han pasado. Hemos tomado fotos de algunas de esas cosas, pero no muchas. Desde que dejé de escribir en el blog, dejé de tomar fotos. Y las pocas fotos que hemos tomado están desperdigadas en folders diferentes en mi computadora o en la de Diego, o en facebook, y algunas cuantas se nos han perdido. Por eso, para ordenar un poco nuestros recuerdos, creo que es tiempo de resucitar el blog. Pero la razón principal de abrir nuevamente el blog, es para seguir en contacto con la familia y los amigos, pues no todos están en facebook.
