NE/Canada Cruise- St. John, New Brunswick

St. John's is the oldest North American city. Discovered by the English explorer, John Cabot in 1497, it is now the capital of Newfoundland. He named the area after St. John the Baptist, since it was discovered on his feast day. The main industry was cod fishing, which has been replaced by the discovery of oil now a days. Drinking rum, eating fried cod tongues?, and attending high tea are the Newfie's favorite pastimes.
We didn't do any tours of St. John, instead we walked or perhaps hiked would be a better word, to see the reversing falls.  I was glad we didn't pay for a tour to go because apparently our ship docked at the wrong time of the day.  The falls didn't reverse until high tide which would not occur until after our ship had sailed.  It was still an unusual place to see and it was a beautiful day for a walk.

Afterwards we returned to our ship for lunch and then took a tour of the downtown area which was very nice.
