A trip to "The Rooms"

We visited "The Rooms" today and I was pleasantly surprised to see on display the Dory from the Creoula that was donated to the Newfoundland Museum upon our arrival in St.John's back in 98'. The Creoula is a schooner; part of the Portuguese White Fleet. I spent a summer sailing from Portugal to Newfoundland on her back in 1998. The dory is part of an exhibit titled "Slicing the Waves: Canoes, Kayaks and Small Wooden Boats" . The exhibit is located on the 2nd level of The Rooms and is ongoing until Sunday, September 13, 2009 . http://www.therooms.ca/

D loves visiting the museum. Cute moment of note: Right now the archives has an exhibit regarding Canada's role in Afghanistan. When d saw the model of the soldiers uniform he said "Look a Knight!". What a smartie pants to make that correlation! I am somewhat doubtful that the modern day solider will go down in fairy tale history the way the iconic knights of ole have though.
