St. Johns July 29

Well, apparently we made it to St. Johns last night. I just stopped the last post rather suddenly and I can only blame these two girls for creating too many distractions.

Today we decided to hit the downtown because it was foggy and drizzly. Although we have Joanne's van we took a cab to avoid having to park and started walking along the harbour.



Joanne was surprised to see a boat she recognised from Iqualuit. She worked for Fisheries and Oceans Canada up there and was responsible for getting this boat its fishing licence in the past.


That is the courthouse at the end of the street.



There are a few street scenes that are typical of the style here. They are painted in lively jelly bean colors and look perky even on a grey day.











A nice apartment building.



This is the old Masonic temple.



The Masonic emblem on the gate.



The Anglican Cathedral of John the Baptist.



It is a beautiful church.

Well, that was a fun day. We managed to include some shopping also. Now we are hoping to get some sun tomorrow so we can go see some tourist sights.
