The tire is fixed and we’re on the road in the rain. Shouldn’t complain, as this is the first day since we left home (10 days) that it has rained. I have my fingers crossed that the weatherman is correct and the weather will improve tomorrow.

Today’s drive was relatively short, only 200 kilometers. We are now just outside of the town of St. Anthony, which is about 30 minutes from L’ance aux Meadows where the Vikings landed. The town of St. Anthony is larger than I expected.

Newfoundland is known as “the rock” because it is a huge rock. When the highway was put it a lot of ground was disturbed so the locals took advantage of the tilled soil and planted gardens. As we drove north we noticed a lot of garden plots, some with fences, some with scarecrows on the side of the road.

We also noticed a lot of wood piles. In the winter the locals go into wood lots with snowmobiles and sleds and bring out firewood stacking it by the side of the highway. In the fall, after the wood has dried they take it home.

For some reason Ed likes the name of this town.

We were driving out of the RV park when we glanced to the side and noticed this fellow walking into the park. I think he stopped by for a snack.

This PBY Canso Water Bomber commemorates two men one from St. Anthony who died while fighting forest fires in Newfoundland.

This iceberg (though not a big one) floated into the harbour a couple of days ago and grounded.
