Newfoundland!!

I went to St. John's, Newfoundland last weekend for a work conference. It was such a great place, I loved it! Downtown, where we stayed and "worked", was the historic area. All the buildings were different colours and it was all so friendly and cheery (despite a day of snow!) I think all I ate while there was seafood - fish and chips, cod chowder and, of course, lobster! It was sooooo good.


We decided that since we were going all the way there just for a work weekend, we better do something fun as well - so we went on an ocean kayak tour! The weather predicted snow that day, but it ended up being the best day we had there. We were too early to see icebergs, whales, puffins... or anything really! But the scenery and experience was still amazing. I would love to go again a little later in the season and see all the ocean life that moves in.




We paddled into a cave - really cool, but we had to go in backwards and every time a swell came we would go up, then slide back towards the walls - scary!! Although we were reassured that it was perfectly safe, the kayaks were plastic and not going to sink, etc. etc... =)



Not too bad a place to spend at a conference! Next year it's in Toronto - I might not be so inclined to go. =D (Although I could get in some good shopping!!)
