St. John's, Newfoundland - Basilica of St. John the Baptist

The Basilica...

A fellow passenger stopped me and asked if I had seen this statue at the local church.  He was stunned by its beauty.  I am sorry that I missed it.  This is all carved in stone.  Amazing.

St. John's, Newfoundland - The View from Signal Hill

Signal Hill is a great place to see the entire area. There are a lot of walking paths in the area and it is a great place to hike.  The Visitor's Center is midway and the castle looking building on top of the hill has facilities.

St. John's, Newfoundland - More Homes

As we made our way from Quidi Vidi to Signal Hill, we were able to see more homes in the area.  The lake is the location of the longest running Regata.  I had the camera clicking away and got caught by the workman on the roof.  Belbin's Grocery still takes orders over the phone and will deliver to your home. I also heard that they will put the groceries away in your kitchen! What a service!

Look closely at the homes and you can see that some of the mailboxes have little colorful houses painted on them.

 The rocks are the beginning of the adventure to Signal Hill.
