Our trial with bad weather isn't over after all as the system that was to have moved off the NE over the North Atlantic has stalled and today was another of fog and drizzle. We had planned to attend a Labrador Newfoundland Folk Festival in a local park but decided to postpone until tomorrow in hopes the forecast will be right and the weather will improve.
We did go downtown to stroll around for awhile and then visited The Rooms, the combined Provincial Museum, Art Gallery, and history
research center.
Named after the Fish Rooms used to process early catches the building is a tribute to the
architecture and imagination of Atlantic Canada.
The Natural History Museum traced the development of the land masses of Northwest Atlantic as well as the first inhabitants of the continent. As 16
th century Europeans searching for a route to Asia discovered the fish and whale harvests nearby Newfoundland became a center of westward expansion.
We still hope to enjoy the Folk Festival and a more extensive tour of St John's with better weather . Next on our agenda is to return to Bay Bulls for a whale and puffin cruise and lunch at the Gathering
recommended by everyone who have
proceeded us.
