Bay of Fundy and the Roosters

May 1, 2017September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

Water is a very powerful entity. Water has waves big enough to topple boats and long enough to flood lands and water mixed with dirt creates landslides that destroy homes. We can harvest energy from it and refresh our bodies … Continue reading Bay of Fundy and the Roosters

March 14, 2017 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

A four-hour drive through the beautiful mountains and coastal region of western Newfoundland brought out the sunshine.   The waters were blue, but you could see the fog in the distance, hovering and waiting to pounce once again, enveloping the land … Continue reading Codroy Valley Provincial Park and the Crazy Birds

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

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
