Today we went as far east as you can go on the North American Continent. We were at Cape Spear. It was very windy but the waves were absolutely gorgeous. We took a picture of the three of us on the east coast!
Downtown St. John's reminds me of San Francisco - lots of very steep hills and colourful row houses side-by-side all over the place. Water Street is similar to Government Street in Victoria with lots of little specialty shops and lots of cruise ship tourists doing the shopping.
We also went to Signal Hill - the place where Marconi got the message. We wanted to go into the gift shop but it was "closed due to weather". The gift shop out at Cape Spear was closed with a sign that said it would open again yesterday . . . must be Newfoundland time.
Tomorrow, Paul is going on a boat trip to get pictures of Puffins.
