1st day in St John's

The trek from Bonavista to St John's is not real far, but we ran into some more lousy weather.
Not real bad, but a steady rain. Thank you Chris!!!!

We arrived in St John's just after 12:00 o'clock. We went to a new facility called "the rooms", that is a museum, housing many local artifacts, plus a restaurant overlooking the St John's harbour. We had lunch at the museum cafe.

The pictures are not up to our usual standards, but as we earlier noted, the weather was lousy.

This view of St John's harbour is from the cafe at the museum.

We made our way to Signal Hill. Signal hill overlooks the city of St John's. Again due to the inclement weather, the pictures lack their usual good definition. Thank you Chris!!!!

This is Cabot tower.

From Signal hill we made our way to Cape Spear.

Cape Spear is the easternmost point in North America.

Just sticking a foot in the water here is an experience. (also a frozen one)

You can probably see the lousy weather, if for no other reason, that I finally put on a sweater.

Oh well, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Our hotel, the Murray Premise, is in the heart of downtown St John's. After our long treks around Signal Hill and Cape Spear, it was time for a cocktail. Off to the local, for a libation. They were not playing music that night, so we made our way to the Shamrock Bar and Grill.

Good meal, good drinks, and also good music.

Home for the night and getting ready for a big day tomorrow in St John's.
