Newfoundland - Sunday

The church was six miles from our hotel so we took a cab to get there.  The cab driver told us how expensive housing was becoming and it was difficult to find even an affordable apartment.

At church we met several young couples who were from Alberta, some of them selling alarm systems for the summer. The parents of one girl was visiting from Taber and is in the same ward as Sue-anne.  One of the men was from Calgary and had taught Lincoln in primary.  Annother couple was from Lethbridge - the son of Dave and Ann Richards.

A lady that I had met in Dartmouth last spring when she was helping her mother after an illness invited us to her home for lunch and then she and her husband took us on a three hour tour of the area.  We drove past an area that had large new homes and were told that the owners were either crab fisherman or workers from Fort McMurray.

We visited Petty Harbour, a picturesque fishing village.  There were many people there as they were having an Arts Festival that day.

From Petty Harbour we went to cape Spear - the farthest east point in North America.  The sea was a beautiful greenish blue colour that day.

We drove around the harbour.  On one side of the harbour they were getting ready to film a scene for the "The Republic of Doyle".  It was to be a car chase.  There were many police and police cars and people as we went by.
