Just a little note about a short trip Gladys and I took last week to the Northern Peninsula of the province. I had not been off the Trans Canada from Deer Lake to go north before and she hadn't been past Gros Morne so we went right to the top - St. Anthony.
The scenery is beautiful up there and there are some cool things to do. We visited the first Viking settlement in North America at L'anse Aux Meadows, went to Englee which is Boyd's home town. He was there visiting his family when we went. It is a very nice little fishing community. As well we went on a boat tour of Western Brook Pond which is 16 km long and takes you right into this deep fiord. We also took in a couple of theatre productions at Gros Morne and visited the Insectarium in Deer Lake. I even found time to get in a little golf.
Below are some photos we took during that trip - I even got Gladys to make a few putts. She drove the cart for me. There is one photo of Gladys with Boyd, his brother Winse and brother-in-law Grant taken at the St. Anthony lighthouse. One other is of Boyd and his brother Winse with two little native children one of Winse's daughters cares for during the day. They were taken from the mother and put in a foster home for the past year or so but they are due to go back soon.
Enjoy the photos.
