Veiled Virgin

St. John's, Newfoundland

Wednesday we were in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

We have been here before but enjoyed another

nice day.

 We happened to go into the Anglican Church and

the Basilica at the right time and enjoyed an

informative, historical private tour at both. We

also visited a convent to see a statue (bust) of

the Veiled Virgin.

St. Anthony

After another sea day we were in St. Anthony,

Newfoundland on Monday. We enjoyed

Wonderful refreshments at the local church.

I tried partridge berry jelly for the first time

(never heard of it before) and it was delicious,

just the right tartness. We also had a pastry

made from partridge berries and it too was

scrumptious.

 

We saw a fire fighting airplane memorial which

Was interesting. I don’t ever remember seeing

a fire fighting plane.

 

We visited a hospital which had a rotunda

entrance with beautiful murals by an artist

named Bonet.

 

Qaqortoq

On Sunday we were in Qaqortoq, Greenland. It was

very different from our last tip here in 2008. I don’t

know if it’s no longer a novelty or because it was

Sunday but it was very quiet and we saw few locals.

In 2008 they had entertainment and refreshments

at school, kindergarten and church.
