1. Newfoundland, Part Deux
|
The tour of Newfoundland continued this week, and is just wrapping up. What a glorious 11 days we had in Newfoundland - beautiful scenery, terrific weather, great food, lively music, and a wonderful group
of people. Last week, I was sharing a little of the west coast travels we'd started with - to Corner Brook, Lark Harbour, and York Harbour. I really had fun sharing some Newfoundland expressions with the group - such as "Yes, b'y" - which can mean anything, as our friends at "This Hour at 22 Minutes" have shown us, parodying the Billie Eilish song "Bad Guy." We continued the tour, and in total ending up covering 2300 km, travelling from Corner Brook up the Northern Peninsula to Gros Morne National Park, before continuing north to Port aux Choix and learning about the Maritime Archaic people who were in Newfoundland 4500 years ago. On to St. Barbe, we crossed over to Labrador. We had an early morning departure from Newfoundland for Labrador - ferry to Blanc Sablon, Quebec, with a quick drive to our hotel at L’anse au Clair, Labrador before heading to the UNESCO world heritage site at Red Bay, Labrador. There was a little mist and fog in the morning that burned off as day progressed. It was so neat to see
difference in landscape in Labrador (which is a Portuguese word meaning “wealthy landowner”) with its metamorphic rock compared to the landscape on the island of Newfoundland
