really nice rental in Georgetown, fed us, showed us all the sights there was time for (Cabot Tower and Fort Amherst), and answered all my annoying questions. We spent the night out on the town with Sarah's cousin David, and got to see George St, which is really just a street with only bars, in lots of varieties. The next day, we drove to Grand Falls, which is where Sarah's from, and stayed at her mom's house. We were all a bit tired, so spent a chill night in enjoying her mom's AMAZING cooking. Wayne and I watched Apollo 13 while Sarah's old friend Rob Maye came over to visit.
Our luck with the weather stopped holding out on Eater morning. The last two days had been gorgeous, but Sunday snowed like three inches, then turned into rain. Sarah had the pleasure of driving us through those conditions to the ferry. I was really excited but apprehensive about the ferry, 'cause everyone had built it up to me soo much. My previous ferry experience were the tiny half hour ones in North Carolina, not gigantic 7 hour things that really rock out in the elements. Even though we had soem rough weather for the first four hours or so, it was great, though.
We arrived in North Sydney, Cape Breton at 7am, and were back in Antigonish by 10am.
It was certainly a whirlwind tour of Newfoundland, but now that I've been, I want to go back. Especially St. John's. It's small but lively and friendly and cute. I'm putting photos up on flickr soon, for those anti-social Facebook types.
