First Day on the Rock

Once a grand drunk tank, this is the Supreme Court of Newfoundland building.

The last time we were in St. John's was almost exactly three years ago, when we split our first ever east cost vacation equally between Halifax and St. John's. This time we didn't bother with Halifax (no disrespect meant; we just prefer St. John's).

Contrasting the old apothecary shop and the new energy monolith.

I was hobbling around with a cane back then, three months shy of my hip surgery. I felt a bit short changed. I have unfinished business with St. John's' vertical streets and hiking paths.

Visiting the Rock in May comes with risks. Don't be fooled by blue skies in the shots above. It was about 2 degrees today. Tomorrow is supposed to be the same - cold and mostly sunny - so it will be our hiking day. The day after that, there's an 80% chance of precipitation - including snow. 

"Newfoundland Indoors" will be the theme. There's a row of museums along Water Street, including the apothecary's, so we'll spend our time there.


Thanks for reading!
