The Iceberg and Father Troy

October 11, 2016 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

Icebergs.   They sink ships, provide refuge for seals and polar bears, and they are something most people never see.   We did not want to be most people. After arriving at the port in Argentia, we drove north and we checked … Continue reading The Iceberg and Father Troy
