19 August
Not much to write about today, more of the same and nothing picture worthy. We left Deer Lake and headed east along TCH
to St John’s. Our thoughts were if we
saw something interesting we’d stop. We
had made a couple of stops at quilt/craft/local artisan places when we headed
north, but I’ve given up on finding something worth buying. I guess the diehard shopaholics will still
buy hand knitted things, but when you can knit even those items have lost their
appeal.
The road between Deer Lake and St. John’s has a couple of
high-tech "Moose near road flashing lights", which were triggered but we didn’t
see any moose. Roger did have a moose
sighting. Unfortunately it was a small
moose that was road kill. I didn’t see
it as I had glanced down to do a Mary Ellen, and was looking at the map.
We’re pretty close to being as far east as you can get in North
America. Tomorrow we’ll be going “downtown”
to see what St John’s (population 101,000 and capital of the Province) has to offer from a tourist perspective. I hope to get a decent picture of Jelly Bean
Row among other things. Keep on reading
to find out.
Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. We've been to 9 of the 10 provinces, plus the Yukon Territory.
