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

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

Moorea

September 1, 2016September 13, 2022 thetravelingsquirrelgirl

While relaxing at the pool in Tahiti, we enjoyed views of Moorea across the lagoon.   It was a mysterious-looking island with clouds dancing around its eight jagged peaks during the day and dramatic sunsets at night.   We could not wait … Continue reading Moorea

Bora Bora.   The name evokes an image of blue waters, white sand beaches and huts on stilts with great views.   The island has that and so much more. The island is the most populated one we have been on yet … Continue reading Bora Bora

Island paradise.   We have all imagined it…the soft white beaches, the bluest of waters with palm trees slowly waving in the light sea breezes, coconuts mysteriously appearing with little straws in them….. As we left Tahiti, the waves became … Continue reading Fakarava and the Blue Lagoon

New Plymouth is a coastal town and we finally had some good weather to actually see the coast.   The sand is black here due to the volcano, Taranaki, that hovers in the background over the whole area. The mountain reminds … Continue reading Surfing in New Plymouth
