Today we traveled to Rocky Harbor, Newfoundland. We will be staying in this area for 2 more days. This is a little fishing village on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is on the west side of the island. We were quite surprised to see this sail boat tied up in this little village. Also there was a black mink lying on the pier. You can see the black spot in the picture. This boat is used to take people out for a week at a time on a cruise. This little town is really quaint. There is a little lake in the middle of town plus the gulf. We had lunch by the water in a little restaurant that served fresh cod. It was really good. Bill and Dianna also got the french fries with cheese and gravy. They are both hooked on this regional dish. We also traveled to several other little villages. They are all in little coves and the water is so blue and clear. The mountains come right down to the water and the rock looks like slate. It is beautiful. We saw a moose today along the side of the road eating grass and another red fox. We also saw a bald eagle sitting close to the road. We are out of the way of the hurricane. We will have some rain tonight and some wind, but the worst of it will be on the east side of Newfoundland and we are on the west side. We are in the Gros Morne National Park. The drive up here from Codroy equals the drive on the Cabot Trail. They are both really spectacular. The weather today was overcast and in the high 60's. We are all having a good time.
