Day 23 and Mile zero!!!!

We made it to st Johns Newfoundland after 8500 klms of riding across this great big vast country we call Canada!!  It has been an amazing journey thru mountains, prairie fields, huge bridges, Forrest's and beaches.  People of every race, speaking languages we can't figure out but so friendly. LOVE it 😀

The city is an interesting port with containers lined up for shipping, supply ships waiting the next mission and fish boats Delivering their catch.  It is old brick buildings or tall narrow buildings painted in bright colors Jelly Bean row houses.  For lunch we went to Yellow Belly brew pub for lunch, yummy pizza and a turkey burger.

George Street is 2 blocks long with bars and restaurants, there is an outdoor stage ready for tonight's concerts at 8 tonight.  We went to Christian's bar to get screeched in, it was so fun! we kissed the frozen cod, ate Bologna and had a shot of rum.

It was the last night if George Street festival and we bought tickets for the evening music event.  They had an outdoor stage set up with a two blocks of bars closed off.  You had to have a ticket to enter, it was a huge beer garden, dancing and singing in the street.  Shanneyganock was the feature band, so amazing, the energy of the audience was unbelievable.  The fans sang along to all the songs, young and old they had a beer in hand, clapping and singing.
