KAREN! CONGRATULATIONS! WILL WRITE WHEN WE HAVE A GOOD SIGNAL. WE LOVE YOU! HUGS FROM CANADA!

Day 33 – Rob was up at 7:55; I was up at 8:30. 37 degrees, raining. Well, it looks like as good a bad-weather day as any. We will go in to St. Anthony, do laundry, and grocery shopping, get propane if available, and take advantage of a phone signal. Rob made Espresso this morning. Now that made the day brighter!

NEWFOUNDLAND – ST. ANTHONY EXPLORATORY TRIP SOUTH.

Day 32 – It rained last night and was 34 degrees this morning & very foggy. The wind made it all the more frigid out. Around 10 a.m. we left to go to St. Anthony where we could get a cell phone signal. We had business to take care of. Rob managed to get ahold of someone at the Provincial Parks Service, and he got an update on the opening schedule for the Park we want to stay at, Pistolet Bay Provincial Park, north of here. Due to the snow still on the ground, it will be opening later than schedule, now maybe June 7 or later. Since we won’t be able to move to Pistolet Bay soon, we’ll be going south today to check out two parks below us. Maybe one of them will be open and some place we’d want to stay at until Pistolet Bay opens.

It is so hard for us to believe we’ve only been gone from home one month! We’ve totally immersed ourselves into this trip; it seems like we’ve been gone much longer. See the bottom of today’s post for the one-month recap of our journey.

Note:  We have no internet and no cell phone connection again. Therefore, once we’ve moved to a different campground & have received a signal again, we’ll send out the blog posts all together.  Sorry!

NEWFOUNDLAND – PORT AU CHOIX TO ST. ANTHONY.

Day 30 – Rob was up at 6:30 a.m. this morning, 44 degrees & partly cloudy. I got up at 7:30. He went over to the rocks on the beach to get pictures of Eider Ducks. They were floating around right in front of the RV.
