Still with us? OK, I’ll finish the “Angel” story. But first… No, that would be cruel. I did want to talk a bit about our next (and last) stop in Canada: Fundy National Park; but first, the angel… No, First…

Halifax (After a Newfie Last Hurrah)
We finished our run in NewfoundLAND and Gros Morne with some local social events. First, we went to a highly-regarded family restaurant for some Newfie Delicacies. We had Fish and Brewis, Cod Tongue and the eponymous MOOSE BURGER with Newfie-style…
Gros Morne World Heritage…
Our last full-fledged stop on Newfoundland was the Gros Morne National Park. Many people have recommended this place to us, and we understood why from the first minute we were there. The park reflects a wide variety of ecosystems within…
Vikings: the “Original” (European) Newfies…
And we are proud to now call ourselves one! (Newfie, that is…certainly NOT Vikings) Our last couple of days at Griquet were spent touring the local area and visiting with friends. New friends. NEWFIE FRIENDS. Fellow Newfies! And, FINALLY, we…
Whales, and a Whale of a good time!
Subtitle: How we fill our days when we wake up with absolutely NOTHING on the schedule… Since we had arrived at our spot near l’Anse aux Meadows mid-afternoon, we thought we’d drive around a bit…see Whadda y’at. That is…
Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone. WE SCORED SOME MOOSE!
We moved on westward from Gander, making it to a place called “Deer Lake,” where there was a very nice RV park. The owner came by in his pickup truck and admired our Bus. When he found out we were…
Boggy Boreal Forest and Ridiculous Birds
After leaving St. John’s we began a rather aimless wandering around the Newfoundland countryside. Which is a BEAUTIFUL PLACE, in a very North-woods, Boreal Forest-Boggy sort of way. By that I mean LOTS and LOTS of little ponds and lots…
Amazing NewfoundLAND!!!!
First, let me say that St. John ROCKS. What a great town, with so much to do and recommend it. Maybe a little off the beaten track, but ABSOLUTELY worth the effort! More on that in a bit. And it…
Cape Breton Island, and Points East!
Getting to Cape Breton was an easy and VERY SCENIC drive. Nova Scotia is an AWESOME place. Small towns. Coastal Vistas. Pine Forests. Really great for a slow drive with no place to be in particular. But, we DID have…
Do Things Really Happen for a Reason…
Up until retiring I would have answered, “Yes, things DO happen for a DEFINITE reason.” Because when computers screw up, “The reason” that “thing” happens can often be found sitting at the keyboard!! And unscrambling that relationship had been my…
