Day Eight

This morning I headed to Water Sreet. I walked it from one end to the other. Lots of restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and banks with some clothing shops. Then did a spin down by the docks and down beer alley , they call it George St. George St. reminded me of Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Late in the morning I drove out to Signal Hill and took a long walk. I skipped lunch and decided to go on out to Cape Spear. I knew I wouldn't have time later. The drive was about 40 min. each way plus stops I stopped twice at an overlook and Maddox Cove/Petty Harbor. There was alot to see at Cape Spear. This a National Historic Site and envolved a good bit of walking. There are two light houses, an art gallery, two WWII artilery bunkers. Quite a combination! Cape Spear guarded St. Johns both in times of peace and war. I found some pastry & coffee on the way back so once I got back to the Guv'nor's Inn, I skipped supper, watched TV, called home & went to bed. Clarification: I just added 3 new photos. Don't know how to move photos around in the blog or label individual photos. Three new photos are taken at Cape Spear(WWII fortification, building w/lookout and view back to St. Johns).
