Michael, when I went to St. Johns in 64/65 I stayed at a place called Greens, it was a bar but had rooms on the side. It was up the hill about 3 blocks from Water St. Also there was chips shops along Water St, I think it was Mary's but that was 50 years ago and I am not sure.

It's always wonderful to learn about personal experiences and connections.

@@mathewlee5712- outdoor swimming season in Newfoundland is short - mid june to end of August in a normal weather year. There are outdoor pools around, both public and private - but not many people have them privately- for the reason mentioned - (weather). Also, there's no end to the number of rivers, lakes, ponds, ( and OCEAN ) where a person can go enjoy a swim. The water at all these sources is crystal clear, cool, and contaminant free - it's perfect water - and it's everywhere ! As for sunscreen - mid-june to mid august is when it's most needed. The central and western portions of the province seem to get more sunshine hours than the eastern , northern and southern portions. In the central and western area, a blue sky and sunny kind of day can bring temps of up to 30-32 C. - with the average daily temp for july being about 24 -26 C. Newfoundland is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean - the weather can change in 5 minutes- without warning ! Generally speaking though, the summers in Newfoundland are quite beautiful , and more times than not, there's a nice breeze blowing. Be warned though - when visiting coastal areas, always have rainwear and/or a light jacket nearby. With the right weather system, sometimes the temperature drop from 30 C to 15 or 16 C in the time it takes to smoke a cigarette.--- and cold rain can sneak up on you rather quickly also !

See that's funny, a bunch of people I know here in nfld go to places in the south of the US to escape the cold in the winter 😂🤷 ..but you were right about the hot somewhat. Only the worst of our summer days are something a Southerner would be complaining about if they came here. I don't think it's too much of an exaggeration to say that 90% of the days of the year are too windy to be any type of "too warm" in lol. Then there's the beaches and lakes/ponds.. they're everywhere on the island so it's super easy to have relaxation even on the worst of days. Be warned about the wind though folks... A normal day might include wind gusts that are above half the strength of a hurricane. Some times of year when it gets stormy, it can be hurricane strength windy without even being a hurricane. Make sure you have the good stuff if you wanna record some nature videos. Because that wind noise will ruin it alllll if you were hoping for the normal good stuff that your iPhone is normally capable of 🙈

If you're interested, you might be able to find recordings of various renditions of "I'se the B'y" online.
