Kathy & Paul's Adventures Abroad

For the past two weeks we have been in Newfoundland, Canada’s most easterly province and the place where we were born and raised. From St. John’s on the Avalon peninsula to Nain on the Labrador coast is one of the most pristine areas in the world. Newfoundlanders call it “The Rock” and we like to call it Canada’s best-kept secret. A place where drivers stop for pedestrians, where the present fuses with the past and where you will see the most unique and beautiful landscapes in the world.

We spent time with old friends, visited family, ate too much delicious Newfoundland food,went whale watching, and enjoyed it all very much!! Reconnecting with family and friends is always great and Paul was able to celebrate his birthday there too.

The cool weather created by the north Atlantic ocean is a pleasant break from the Toronto summer heat. There is a Newfoundland expression “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes – it will change.”

We are attaching some of the thousands of pictures we took in this post. I hope it helps to give you some idea of the beauty of this place they call “The Rock”, but the best way is to see it for yourself. Enjoy!
