Tickle me Squid
... We were met with two buses that the townsfolk had arranged to be sent from Gander, which I think is about 100kms away. The area near Leading Tickles (don’t you love the name?) is famous for something very special, which we were taken to see.
What? You may ask!
A 1:1 replica of a giant squid that washed up on shore on November 2nd 1878 in Glover Bay. When it was snagged, it was still alive. It was ...
Heading to St. John's
... the houses are so cool and colourful, we can't wait to see them in the daylight.

... lander trained here to look for methane based bacteria because of the high metal and methane toxicity of the tablelands. Who knew? It was a nice hike, on a beautiful, yet windy day. Now off to lunch!
1pm...Stopped by the Gros Morne Discovery Center and saw an art exhibition called "Changing Tides". It was a fantastic exhibit where a commissioned artist explored the textures found throughout the Newfoundland landscape, and then using items collected from the shores ...
