We continued driving south along the Western Coast of the Northern Peninsula and the weather improved greatly - temps went up to the mid to high 50's, fog disappeared, no rain, and we saw the sun!!! Along the way, we took detours into a few small towns and villages on the coast. Took some photos to give you a feel for the area:
 |
| Lots of laundry hanging on lines |
 |
| Look carefully back right - they built a house incorporating a camper! |
 |
| Lobster traps everywhere |
 |
| Lobster traps and wood stack |
 |
| Dandelion front yard |
 |
| Relaxing spot on the Bay |
 |
| More dandelion yards |
 |
| Saw many of these large modern houses on this trip |
 |
| Newfoundland is called "The Rock" and you can see why - need to put rock cages around telephone poles to anchor them because they can't blast into the bedrock. |
Stopped for the night in a small town called Cow Head with one of the few sandy summer swimming beaches in Newfoundland..........as long as you like your ocean water temperature in the low 60's.
 |
| All the houses have these wooden boxes for their garbage. Some are very artsy! |
Such a different way of life.
