29 June 2013 Great meal at Norris Point

This was a relax and catch up day. I added posts to our blog for June 23, 24, and 28. We did not have internet while visiting St. Anthony so could not post for the days we were there. Did wash and made some repairs to the RV--nothing major just a door handle.

Ate lunch at the Justin Thyme Bean and Bistro at Norris Point, a new restaurant at Norris Point that had been open only 45 days. Tasty food with  nice presentation. I had tomato soup with aged cheddar and a smoked salmon and shrimp sandwich. It's about five miles down the road from our park. Patrice had seafood chowder and one-half of a spinach salad with kiwi-pineapple dressing. The cafe carried all kinds of coffees and teas ("help yourself"), luscious deserts, cookies and internet service. Really the first such meal in Newfoundland. We have enjoyed the Newfoundland seafood (particularly chowder), and everything is very simply prepared and presented. This was a wonderful exception.

After lunch we toured the village observing the homes, businesses, craft shops, and docked fishing and tour boats. Patrice spied this building on the dock with caribou and moose antlers.

We joined Marge and Jerry last night for cake and ice cream at their place and we called it a another day in paradise. Heavy rain and very gusty winds during the night. The air outside was very warm, and we opened some windows in the rig to sleep well. Glad we were parked and all set up.
