As we left Hipditch House, we all sat down on the steps and took a selfie.

We drove around St. John’s a bit and took a few pictures, mosttly because I wanted some of the houses all painted wild colors. I had asked Randy, the tour guide from the day before, if this had always been a “thing” in St. John’s, and he said it started in the 1970s when people just used whatever paint they could get their hands on. I guess they decided that they like it, and so did we.

After a quick trip to Sobey’s, we headed down the coast of the Avalon Peninsula toward Ferryland, where we had a picnic lunch to eat on the grounds. The woman serving the meal said her grandmother had been born there at the light.
