A Closer look at St. Johns part II: Mingling with people in high places.
After a rather thought Sunday, we went on another sightseeing expedition on Monday. My and Roger went with Bob to his workplace “Bishops college” and got the nickel tour presented by Bob himself, our as he called it “Bring your Viking to school-day”. We saw the Gym, fitnessroom and the beautiful art exposition of the schools pupils. We also meet some of Bobs pupils, or “The Mob” as he calls them.
Then we went to the “Trade” witch is a shop for Salvation Army accessories. Some of my fellow bandsmen bought or ordered uniforms or other artifacts.
The next stop was St.Johns big museum “Two Rooms”. This is part art gallery, part Nature-historical museum and part City archives. I saw a very interesting exposition of Anne Hathaway Berry. She’s a local painter specializing in motives from New Foundland. Her pictures reminded me of the Laura Veirs cover of the Carbon Glazier album, I have to cheek that when I get home.
After lunch in Two-Rooms we were driven the long way (two minutes) down to the Town Hall to meet the deputy-mayor of St. Johns. We had to wait for him for over an hour before he let us in to the Council Hall for a short meet-and-greet.
After this highly political important meeting Roger and me went to “ Signal Hobbies“ witch is a shop for autocontrolled cars and other autocontrolled equipment. .Our good friend Larry Purdy took us there, but it close to early for us to get in. a sad day for Roger indeed, since we went on the road the next day before it opened again. Larry took us to “Freds” instead, our favorite local music shop.
Then in the evening Bob took us to his local Supermarket and showed Roger their local store for autocontrolled vehicles. We bought a couple of golfballs, autocontrolled of course.
