Nusfjord, Norway and the Fish

September 13, 2017September 15, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

Fish.   A LOT of fish.   That was our second impression of the Lofoten Islands.   I have never seen so many fish in my life.  I am not talking hundreds but perhaps millions, all hanging headless from ancient … Continue reading Nusfjord, Norway and the Fish

Newfoundland Fjords and the Lobster

March 8, 2017September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

How romantic is the idea of an old home, perched up on a small hill by the sea, with the waves slowly lapping at the rocky shore?   We found one of these homes in Portland Creek, the Entente Cordiale Beachfront … Continue reading Newfoundland Fjords and the Lobster

I read a lot as a kid and enjoyed many a movie on Saturdays.   One of my favorites was the story of the Titanic and I loved the original B&W movie.   The Titanic was a big, new, and oh … Continue reading Twillingate, Land of the Icebergs

History.   It is where we have been and what we can learn from to better our future and some places preserve it better than others do.   Trinity is a town that covers it all. Trinity is an old historic town … Continue reading Trinity

Newfoundland Observations

December 12, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

Newfoundland has a lot of very creative town names.  Some of the towns we passed: Goobies (not Goonies?), Placentia (ummmm?), Dildo (maybe the town had a lot of fishermen who stayed away for days), Come By Chance (or by choice!), … Continue reading Newfoundland Observations

Puffins, Root Cellars and a Lighthouse

December 2, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

Elliston is a town on the Bonavista Peninsula with 2 very unusual distinctions.  First, it is the Root Cellar Capital of the World, and second, it has puffins.  I love puffins.   They are funny, awkward birds that make it look … Continue reading Puffins, Root Cellars and a Lighthouse

The Most Easterly Point, Cape Spear, and the Tiny Village

November 18, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

I love signs.   All kinds.   Some of my favorites are location signs.  We have been to the southernmost point in the US (Cuba-90 miles!), the 45th parallel both north and south and now we have been to the … Continue reading The Most Easterly Point, Cape Spear, and the Tiny Village

Ferryland Lighthouse

November 10, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

Witless Bay and Bird Island

November 2, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

The Atlantic.   A wide-open expanse of water tempted me with gentle breezes, calm waters, and a hint of adventure.  While we did not get to sail on this beautiful day, we did ride a zodiac out to see birds flying … Continue reading Witless Bay and Bird Island
