Breathing Space

Newfoundland Blog - Day 0

This is going to be short but I thought I would write simple thoughts of how things are going. 

Up early and out the door before 5am without coffee, isn’t that scary! But I survived. Was at the airport by 5:15am and just a bit of a hold up at security. I forgot I had a tube of hand lotion but once we found that all was good. 

I walked for a bit but considering I will be sitting for most of the day, a walk was a good thing. I did find a coffee and a bite to eat and I feel a bit more human now!

Well, boarding has begun here in a few minutes, time to get this show on the road!!

1:25pm - Sitting in Ottawa

Good flight, slept a bit or so I think.  

An airport is an airport is an airport. People everywhere, coming and going and some just waiting. Which what I am doing.  It’s cloudy in Ottawa today and about 18c.  I look forward to getting to St. John’s, I have had enough of sitting.  I plan on going for a bit of a walk to see what I can find in my general area. 

It was a nice short stay at Ottawa only about 20 minutes to wait, which was nice. The last leg of the journey begins.  Ottawa to St. John’s Newfoundland.

Two hours and change from Ottawa to St. John’s and the flight was smooth.  It’s chilly here in St. John’s, the fog rolled when I did.  So my evening walk was a bit shorter than planned but that’s ok.  I still can’t figure out how one can be tired after doing nothing all day.

 I am staying on campus, simple room but it’s nice. Won’t be here much any way. I will share some picks later on of the campus. What I did see on my walk to find some food looked rather nice. 

I did wander a tiny bit and found these two for their evening stroll.
