as far as touristy things, i haven't done all that much. vernon has been working at tuckamore all week (another festival here in st john's) so i've been on my own. lots of time to sit and freak out about not having a job. :)
last sunday we did manage to make it out to cape spear though - it was a georgeous day and we took lots of great photos. cape spear is the eastern most tip of north america so there really is nothing out there....just europe. it's extremely beautiful. i spent an entire day walking around st john's although i didn't take any photos. i will though at some point. i've also spent some time exploring the great network of trails that run through the city (one of them runs right behind my house!). there are quite a lot and they are well maintained. it's great for running and in the winter it will be great for.....cross country skiing? snowshoeing? the people here ARE really nice as well. the house is great - i've bought a few things like more shoe storage of course - and i think i am finally ready to say that i've officially put everything away. the stuff that is lying around now is really just because i'm a slob.
anyhoo - here are some pics.....
the old lighthouse and the coast....
looking back towards st john's....
me and the coast.....
notice how the waves are crashing in perpendicular to the shore....it's really weird. it must be because it's a point and this is where it wraps around....
vernon and the life ring. i have a feeling if you are stupid enough to "fall" into the water (after hiking over the rocks and climbing a fence) you are going to need a lot more help than this little life preserver....
