Did I mention that it rains a lot here, wow we sure seem to be getting our share of it. It stopped raining last night for a while but I woke up about 12:30 and it was raining and rained all night and all morning. We procrastinated for a while this morning getting started but John finally gave up and started hooking up. Fortunately, the rain let up and he didn’t get totally soaked.

Last night the couple beside us were trying to set up ExpressVu so John went over to help so this morning while he was hooking up Jamie came over and gave us a large bag of frozen cod that his brother caught last week. We are looking forward to a couple of good meals.

Today we drove to Bonavista, it rained most of the way but just before we got here it finally stopped and the sun actually came out but the temperature never got about 13-14, too cool for my liking! We are now at Paradise Farm RV Park which is about 5 km from Bonavista and is a very nice park. It has hydro and water, no sewer, but for $18/night we aren’t complaining. After we got set up we drove into Bonavista and were quite surprised at how large a town it is and it is very pretty. We drove up to the lighthouse then came back into town and stopped at an internet café to download our e-mail, then home.

When we got to the park there were 4 very large motor homes from Washington state here, we have been following them for a while now and we know it is the same group as one of them has a sign in the front window “No Snivelling”. I talked to a couple of the women tonight and they are retired, met up in Montana in mid June and headed east. I asked when they would be home and the one woman said whenever, we’re retired. After dinner we went for a walk and ended up talking to Julie, the one with the sign, and she said they got the sign in Puerto Penasco (that is where we went on the bus trip at the end of February) and she said they go to Yuma for the winter also. It is always interesting talking to other people and realizing how many of the same places you have been.
