Tuesday, we were in St. John's, Newfoundland. After a pretty sunrise we sailed into the harbor the narrows into the harbor. Our excursion took us to the top of Signal Hill to see the Cabot Tower and a great view of the city. Signal Hill is famous for being the location of the radio tower for Guglielmo Marconi's first transatlantic wireless transmission. We then went to the provincial museum at a building called The Rooms. Later in the afternoon I went on an excursion called Newfoundland: Screech-In. It included a vist]it to an local brewery to do a taste-test, the an Irish pub for a drink then to Trapper John's Screech In Pub for the Screech-in ceremony making me an honorary Newfoundlander
