SO now that I've had a chance to rest I thought I'd show you all some of our adventures with Merman Christian (https://www.facebook.com/mermanchristian?fref=ts) while he visits us in Canada for a week!
In Halifax we have the tradition of "running the wave" a giant wave sculpture downtown. Everyone does it at some point, so as part of his initiation Chris had to as well!

On his first night here we took him around downtown Halifax and showed him all the historic places and ate yummy food
Here's Mutiny and I with him at a seafood restaurant.
