I went to my first Taekwon-Do IIC (Internatioal Instructors Course) in Halifax. I absolutely love to travel and experience new places and meet new people through different sports. Since it was so far away, my mom, one of my instructors Mr. Lim and I flew to Nova Scotia the day before the seminar started so we could get settled and see some of the sights.
Of course we had to go to Peggy’s Cove. The drive from the airport was beautiful with lots of little inlets of water, colourful houses and fishing boats.
A TKD tradition is having a side-kick picture taken in every city that you visit as a souvenir
I felt free standing on the rocks with the wind blowing and the crashing of the waves
Ms. Kayla Maduk and Mr. David Lim
The waves came in so fast it was hard to hold a pose
By the time we left our faces and lips were covered in salt from the ocean spray.
Once we made it back to the hotel several other people had arrived (including my Head Instructor Mr. LeGrow). It was great to see everyone again. A large group of us went downtown for dinner near the waterfront. Most people were extremely tired from either a long drive or flight so we didn’t go to bed too late. We knew we had a huge weekend ahead of us and I wanted to be as rested as possible for it. GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I heard you were going to Halifax, I pictured you in this exact pose, in this exact spot! wicked 🙂
It was so beautiful there!
