Over
the two days we drove around the various sights and spent much time wandering
around the downtown area. Lyle was fascinated with the brightly coloured
shoebox homes and we were both impressed with the Basillica, the huge Roman
Catholic Cathedral at the top of the hill.
Today, we were fortunate enough to meet one of St. John’s Ambassadors –
a seven year old Newfoundland dog called Schooner and his owner, Colin. I loved Schooner. He was definitely the
biggest and most gentle dog that I have ever encountered. Thanks Colin for
bringing him up to me so that I could give him a pat and have the following
picture taken.
On our wandering around town we also came
across the end, or perhaps the beginning, of the Trans-Canada Highway. I was
reminded of the sunny day in March when we began the Victoria walk at Mile 0.
Could that really be nearly six months ago now!
I know that some of my friends from that day are still following this
blog, so a special hello to you!
Following is a picture of me beside the
Mile 0 sign. Unlike the sign in Victoria which was the beginning of a walk with
nine of us, yesterday Lyle and I came across the sign in St. John’s when we
were the only two and so Lyle was again the photographer.
Tomorrow we will walk in St. John’s but it
may be a day or two before I am able to have Internet access and do the next
posting, so do keep checking!
Yes the houses are so neat.
