Last full day

Sunday we went to church with Jordan & Rebecca at the Basilica Cathedral, a beautiful huge church up on a hill over looking the city.
Then a walk around town, more pictures of Jelly Bean houses and lunch at The Merchant Pub.

After lunch we went to the Screech Room. This would be our last opportunity to be screeched in before we head home. It was a comical and informative ceremony. We learned a little about the tradition and history of Newfoundland Screech. And, yes, we all "kissed the cod" and became honorary Newfoundlanders.

It was another beautiful sunny St John's day (they haven't had many of those lately) so we strapped on our hiking boots to explore another section of the East Coast Trail. This time we hiked up the huge hill near Jordan's house in Fort Amherst. At the top is a dam that forms a small lake. The young people use this as a swimming hole and hang out. There were several swimming there today but it's much too cold for me. So we just sat and had a refreshment while enjoying the view.

Sunday evening was a time to relax and pack. Our last day on the island.
