Going north to Port Aux Choix

Port Aux Choix is another fishing village.  Actually, every village in Newfoundland is a fishing village.  This one was said to be very prosperous.  Since I am now the driver, we shall not be going many miles each day.  Today was about 90 miles.  This village has a national historic site.  It highlights the settlements here over the last 5000 years.  I saw a list of the National Historic Sites in Newfoundland and I think we have been to every one but about three.

We are staying at another Lion's Club run campground.  We have been to three and they have all been right at the water's edge.

This is the view from our campsite.  You may notice the gray sky and fog.  This is a very different beach from others we have seen.  We are not on a bay, cape, tickle, spit or cove.  This is pretty much the open ocean with breakers hitting the rocks.  We are looking for whales, but unless they come up on the beach, we will not be able to see them.  Tomorrow we move on to St.  Anthony.  It is just about at the northern tip of Newfoundland and we have scheduled a whale watch boat trip.  Hoping to hear , " thar she blows".




Got up the next morning to sunshine.

Ah, the world looks different in the sunshine.
