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!
