NFLD SUMMER 2014

Had a terrific time in St. John's and the surrounding environs end of July and early August.

   After exploring and updating the St. John's experience I had the opportunity to tour Sunnyside Trinity Bay, Trepassey, Tor's Cove, Bay Bulls and the Regatta (North America's oldest sporting event, this was the 194th year) on Quidi Vidi Pond. The highlight of the trip was seeing my favorite folks my Aunt 'K', the Luthers and the Kennedys.
   Another highlight was enjoying 3 nights of the George Street Festival which included Headliners such as Jacob Dylan & the Wall Flowers, Dr. Hook, Alan Doyle and umpteem local Irish bands that played in various pubs and bars along George Street,... in one word... WOW!

   Thanks to my awesome cousins who remain the most solid people on earth!
