    First trip to Newfoundland in the summer! Saw Zachs mom and did some day hikes, went to a nice swimming hole at La Manche, spent a night downtown.

    Good to be home!

    Went to the hilariously named town of Dildo, Newfoundland to visit the brewery for lunch, delicious mussels and beer!

  • Port Rexton

    July 18, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Went camping in Port Rexton for 3 nights. We saw a puffin colony, some gorgeous coastline at Bonavista, which is where they think John Cabot landed first in the 1400s. We could see whales from the shore!

    We celebrated Zachs moms birthday here, we went to the local brewery for great beer gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches!

    Back to Zachs home town to see some family for the first time in way too long! What a wonderful visit! The hospitality is unbelievably and we felt so at home.

    We got out on a dory for a trip around Cox's cove, unfortunately the travel tracker didn't work that day. We would have loved to see that map.

    So good to catch up with family and show Anna the beautiful Bay of Islands!

  • Gros Morne National Park

    July 21, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Visited the stunning Gros Morne today. We had to adapt our plans because Anna hurt her knee in Jasper, so we were unable to hike Gros Morne mountain, so instead we opted for a coastal trail walk, visited a lighthouse, had seafood lunch by the docks in Norris point and a did the Bonne Bay boat tour.

    We learned the Tableland mountains are continuous with Coxs Cove, which is where we did the dory tour with Zachs family friend. Very interesting!
