Yes b'y?

Here we be, on Canada's east coast. It has been an eventful week of exploring and hiking, interspersed with tea drinking sessions and too much food! Ah buddy, I tells ya, if it weren't for the eight hour hike on the beautiful east coast trail, I'd be one and a half ax-handles wide, yes m'boy! Speaking of the east coast trail; the trail stretches from Topsail around past St. Johns and down to Cappahayden. It looks like I might have to add it to my list of to-dos! The portion we traversed was gorgeous! Tall cliffs dropping hundreds of feet into the blue Atlantic, a lighthouse, an abandoned settlement on a picturesque cove with a waterfall cascading into a crystal clear bay! Sea stacks and a natural bridge were seen from the trail as well. We ran out of time but we were trying to reach a feature called "the Spout" which is a geyser caused by the force of the waves, sending water shooting into the air. It was windy at times but all around it was a pleasant hike with few muddy patches along the path where creeks and springs cut through on their way to the ocean. If ever in the St. Johns area, I highly recommend this trail!
