My Dark Cove Pantry

I am from Gambo, NL, located on the east coast of Canada, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. My hometown of Gambo was once divided into three smaller communities, known as Middle Brook, Dark Cove & Gambo. I grew up in Dark Cove, and absolutely love to cook and bake, so I thought what better name could there be for my first blog than 'My Dark Cove Pantry'. Even though I now live in Flatrock, and now have a new pantry, it will always be 'My Dark Cove Pantry'.

Old St. John's

Here are a few pictures that might help you understand why I am sooooo in love with St. John's, especially the old downtown section.......

These pictures were all taken from great distances, so they are not real clear.

This would be the sight awaiting you after you passed through the narrows and came into St. John's harbor....

I think this is my favorite building in the city--The Basilica.

This would be your view as you came in through the narrows, just before getting into the well protected St. John's harbor.

The brightly painted old homes are magnificent to look at. It must be so hard living there in the winter.

You will be able to get a good look at the Cabot Tower on Signal Hill as you enter the narrows as well.

What do you think?

Are there any old parts of your city that have been protected and remained the same

over the last few hundred years?

Cheers
