Five things I learned in Newfoundland...

[graculus]

1. Moose were apparently designed by committee, as they have approx. 33% more leg than they actually need and/or can control at any pace faster than walking.

2. I will never complain about the roads in England ever again. Ever. We don't know what potholes are!

3. It is completely possible to fall off the vegetarian wagon where fish and shellfish are concerned (anyone who hasn't seen the restaurant menus over there does not get to judge me!) and then pick up being a veggie again with relief when you get back to civilisation.

4. That I am incredibly glad digital cameras were invented as I took hundreds of photos and would have bankrupted myself if we were still in the world of processing. Plus this way nobody gets to see the crap, out of focus ones, of which there were quite a few.

5. Icebergs are both literally and metaphorically cool. Pics to follow. ;)

Oooh! You're back! Sounds like you have stories to tell. I eagerly await them. Glad you're safe and sound and at home again.

Moose are bizarre aren't they :-) Pictures just don't quite do them justice.

Heh! I've only been in the city once so I had no idea that the roads were bad but yeah it makes sense.

Ouch! At least I hope the fish and shellfish were good?

Can't wait to see picture especially L'Anse aux Meadows!

Did you get to see whales too? Did you do the kayak trip? Details, we want details! Like did you succumb and try some screech?

*hugs*

Sounds like you had an interesting time. Looking forward to the pix.

As a fellow veg, I grant you slack. We are still human, afterall (dammit).

Thank heavens for digital. I remember on one vaca I'd taken 5 rolls of film and has rolled them up in wads of paper towel, the only thing I'd had on hand, to prevent the sun from hitting them. When I got back to the hotel room that night, I dumped all the "trash" in my bag into the bin and went to sleep that night. Thank goodness in the middle of the night I woke and realized I'd pitched those film canisters into the trash.

Oooh, I cannot wait for these pics. And to hear of all the adventures.

Very! :)

Looking forward to the pictures because I've never been to Newfoundland yet.

Did you get close enough to a moose to smell it? Urgh!

Glad you're back safely! Now, on to the pictures!
