Newfoundland - Part 2 - Jenny

Crazy weather. We just outran the tornado that ravaged Ontario and we're enjoying the continuing sunshine in St. John's. Finally - I have reached St. John's and we've just taken a photo at Mile One.

Along the way, I picked up some interesting souvenirs. The pink toilet paper that I've been searching for is finally in my posession - from in Levis - SuperC supermarket. Levis is just a short seabus ride from Quebec.

I also bought some stuff from PEI from the Anne of Green Gables chocolate shop. My favourite are the round rocks I picked up on the shore of Northern Newfoundland that I intend to paint on later.

We were originally going to stay in Pippy Park campgrounds tonight, but the tent field is just that - a field. In order to get a private area (with a rocky pebble floor), we'd have to pay close to $40 per night. Luckily we are able to get rooms at the Sheraton here with Candy's starhot prices. $60 at an excellent hotel with free internet, pool, and clean sheets! The choice was easy.

Anyway, it's dinner time here now and after dinner we intend to visit Signal Hill - the most Easternly place in Canada.
