This was our long awaited family vacation. Following retirement, we had planned for time with children and grand children for rest and relaxation. St.Johns, New Foundland, Canada was selected not only for its natural beauty and cool weather in July, but also because that was the place where a forst cousin to our children was getting married on July 16 2011. This time we decided to delegate each of our three daughters with special resonsibilities. Michelle was in charge of arranging for accomodation, Maggie for activities and Maya for transportation. Michelle did an excellent job in picking a hotel near St Jons air port for our stay for the first night, a beautiful furnished house on the ocean in Ochre pit cove for four nights' stay and another
hotel in St.Johns for the three days. Maya made the reservations for the van and Maggie had all activities for us adults as well as children all planned.Unspoiled natural beauty of this part of Canada was astounding. Blue ocean with whales showing up while we watch them from our break fast table, miles of winding roads along the ocean front, lots of mountains and peaks with paths for hiking and small houses , shops and churches all adding to the beauty of Newfound land. People were so friendly and hospitable. It sure is a place I would like to go back for vacation!
