Travels
Fairly early we are up and off to walk Oscar and Oreo and then go back to L'Anse aux Meadows. The day has dawned cloudy, but has this wonderful blue streak along the horizon. This streak in fact takes...
Today is strictly a drive day. It pours for most of the day. We are heading from Gros Morne National Park to L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site on the northern tip of Newfoundland, a distance of...
