Newfoundland 2

We picked up G&G Huntington in St. John's and they came with us back to Signal Hill in the sunshine.

 St John's Harbour

 This was about how we saw us on the evening news.

 Today was the first noon firing of the cannon, which booms every noon of the summer.

 This is a no smoking area.

 The last of the famous White Fleet of Portuguese fishing boats.

 Back at Cape Spear we got a tour of the lighthouse.

 and we did a little balancing..

 ...and battling..

 ..I almost won.

Deer Lk NFLD road sign.

 Green Point in Gros Morne National Park.

 The tunnel systems under the branches used to be used by a lot of sheep.

 On the road of the Northern Peninsula.

 At St. Anthony's we got to see our iceberg, just not the 4 mile long variety.

 At L'anse aux Meadows.

 This is where the Vikings settled for a few years about 1000 AD.

Here come the Vikings!

Site of archeological dig and rebuild.

 Being here off season allowed us to try some models on for size.

 In this re-enactment Jake narrowly escapes with his life.

 He chooses new gear for the next round.

The weight of the world.

All along the road you can see sleighs and wood piles just like this.

At Rocky Harbour.

 Our friends, the O'Farrells, hosted us again on the way back the same night Watoto was in town.

 The return ferry ride to Cape Breton was much more fun with games abounding.

 Cape Breton is prettier 2 and a half weeks after the last time we were here.  Everything is turning green.

Next stop PEI.
