East Coast to home and then some

I am back.  Finished the St John's tour with a day at the museum.  It was terrific.  I wonder why as kids the stuff never sinks in how amazing this country is?  I am amazed at the people and the country on the coast.  Very much a different place.  I saw colour and vibrant life out there.  Not too sure what inspires the art but it is everywhere.  They have a bunch of stuff going on.  Then you put the history of the area and wow truly a unique place in our country.

So let me see what I am owing the readership.  Photos, updates on kitchen renos, details on Molly, and some tidbits on St. John's.

So let me give you the tidbits.  Trip was a quick one with little time to plan but thanks to some former coworkers I know that live out in ST. John's I am able to say we saw things.  I toured the first 2 days with Traci, we did the usual, signal hill and cape spear.  Cape spear is the furthest east point  in North America.  I think I have a lot photos very interesting area.  Light houses, rocky terrain, ocean, and of course wind.

After the first couple of days I was on my own and that was ok but not as fun when I know Traci is working.  I went down to Maddox Cove, Fort Amherst, Quidi Vidi and lots of little stops in between.

Spent a couple nights trying to get some night photos.  I have to admit I got the idea from the web but hey that is what the web is for, giving you ideas right.

So onto some photos.  Here is a quick sample of what is to come.  Some of these are unedited, so I hope they are decent enough to give you a glimpse.  I think I took around 800 plus photos and I am hoping to probably edit 40 to 50 of them from what I am seeing in my pile of really likes.  Again just a sample so I will make some more available as they become ready for public eyes.

To summarize if you have been out to the east coast you are probably thinking meh, but for me it was a great time, I would love to go back with maybe a couple of weeks to cruise around and see more of the place and maybe get out to Gros Morne national park.

When I was in Quidi Vidi there was a group of artist  that I went to see, they do all types of art, but mainly they do traditional stuff, I bought a couple of pictures from the folks again because they are unique and they are hand made and to me they speak about the place I was at.  I like that idea a lot.

But the one artist saw my camera and we started talking I showed them some of the images I had from the other day and so on.  Then they showed me Gros Morne on their laptop.  Amazing place so now that is on the list of things to explore in the future.  But for now enjoy the samples of ST. John's and I will try and get those other things I owe the readers onto the blog soon.
