OUR FAREWELL TOUR

The last week was spent driving back to Port au Basque from Quirpon, New Foundland. We had a couple of days of rain and fog, but overall it was a beautiful trip. Wednesday was especially beautiful. Let me tell you about it.

(I DO NOT REMEMBER PUTTING THIS PICTURE IN HERE! BUT IT WAS PRETTY IN SPITE OF THE DEAD TREES!)

In the morning, Ernie and I hiked up and over a hill to get to the ocean on the other side. It was a well marked trail, maybe 5 km in length, and it was a nice walk.

The views on the other side of the hill weren't bad either! Isn't this just awesome? The sun was so bright and the sky and water so blue, and the grass so green....like most of New Foundland. Linda had commented that she had never thought of New Foundland as a destination. We hadn't either. We heard so much about Nova Scotia, and knew we wanted to go there, and then decided we might as well go up to NF as long as we were in this part of the country. Then our friends, Mark and Becky, told us about their trip and encouraged us to go for it. We are so glad we did. This is one of the most beautiful spots we've ever been. But back to the hike.

At the end of the trail, back where we started, I found this absolutely enchanting spot for a photo, don't you think?
