We're over here in Newfoundland. Our friends Joan (that's Dr. Joan to you and me) and Susan visited us in Spain last Christmas. So we thought, in punishment, we'd impose ourselves on them.
I've never been to the East Coast of Canada before. It is, well, pretty awesome! St John's, at least the downtown, is very beautiful and full of great restaurants. What more could you ask for?! (Outside of downtown of course it just turns into another Canadian city with shopping malls and WalMarts).
And the music! If you like traditional music, surely St John's is one of the best places to see it. We stopped in for lunch to a place called Auntie Crae's and saw a 'Kitchen Party' (newfie-speak for a jam session). A bunch of local players, cranking out the tunes.
Ok, I am a tourist, and maybe some of these things are touristy, but, I am enjoying myself immensely.
As I write this I am sitting out in a cottage on Conception Bay, perilously close to the edge of the cliff. Waves are crashing into the rocks and it is awe-inspiring.
Write more soon!
