The New Found Land

I'm torn over which photo to start with.  

This is Quidi Vidi. I'll bet it's one of the prettiest places in Canada and among the most Newfoundland-y.

But, the lighthouse at Fort Amherst is also Newfoundland-y.

And this sign harbours a newfie joke in it somewhere.

Tragic tales are a good lead, even of those foolish enough to test the waters at the easternmost point of Canada.

You can't go wrong with dogs. Especially when they are made of bronze. St. John's honours Newfoundland's two breeds with larger-than-life likenesses on the only public spot on the waterfront. 

Still, nothing says "local colour" like a big, rusty gun from the second World War left behind by the American military.

But, the real story about Newfoundland is rocks and water, so I think I'll start with this shot.

We're back home after a fun week away. If you want to know about where we stayed, what we saw and what we ate, I did all kinds of reviews on TripAdvisor: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

The best things about coming back home after a nice trip away: your own bed, your own shower and a cup of coffee made just the way you like it.

Thanks for reading!

Have a great week!
