To the North Atlantic Provinces

07/31/2019 -   Today is a driving day to Rocky Harbor.  We headed south (for the beginning of our return home).    We camped in Gros Morne RV Park in a Canadian Provincial Park.  We were scheduled for a stand up comedy show called "Anchors Aweigh" at 8:00 pm., but were not interested, and needed to do some laundry.  So we spent the day doing laundry and chores.  I called Kim for her  birthday and talked to her.  8/01/2019 - We are scheduled for a boat tour this afternoon, but are not real sure of where the harbor is.  Trish and I decided to find the harbor.  We drove to the harbor, called Norris Point.  It was a very quaint and upscale summer home location.  Then we toured the town of Rocky Harbor itself to check out the souvenir shops.  We wandered through several, then stopped to get ice cream.  Most of the houses here are painted loud colors.  It is really pretty.  Also, the businesses in town are painted too.  Here is a motel downtown.  colorful buildings When w

7/25/2019 - The Ferry to Newfoundland.  We drove from the campground in Sydney, Nova Scotia to the ferry terminal at the northern-most port of Nova Scotia.  The ferry really impressed me.  It was very big - 9 levels, with vehicle storage on the bottom 3 levels.  The staff of the ferry told me that there was 3 kilometers of parking space on the boat ( that is about 1.86 miles).  Here are my pictures of the ferry.
