Today’s post comes to you from the St. John’s Airport. My flight to Halifax has been delayed by about 50 minutes for de-icing (I forgot that planes have to do that in the winter), so I’m writing this post to pass the time away.
With the free time I had this morning, I took advantage of exploring this surprisingly wonderful city in Canada. After breakfast at the Kcafe, where I tried Toutons (fried bread with molasses or maple syrup), I left for a trip to Cape Spear. Cape Spear is the easternmost point in North America. You can’t get further east on the continent without needing a swimsuit! The scenery was spectacular. I learned that in the early summer, you can see icebergs that have broken off floating around Newfoundland.
In the afternoon, I took a stroll down Water Street, which claims to be the oldest street in North America. It’s lined with cafes, pubs and boutiques. Very quaint and old-fashioned. Today’s photo comes to you from this historic area.
A walk through the residential neighborhoods is a must-see. St. John’s is known for their colorful houses arranged in what is called, “Jelly Bean Row”.
I’m not sure what Halifax, Nova Scotia has in store, but I’m looking forward to finding out. Stay tuned next week for all the photos and videos from my trip to Canada.
