Port Au Choix Newfoundland

This is what we did on Wednesday….

Today we begin to head south. Having reached our furthest point north, we are now on our way back to the US. Our destination for today is Port Au Choix-about 125 miles south.

Our campground is right on the ocean and we have a beautiful view. I am sitting at the computer writing this as I look out over the ocean. Although it is sunny and clear, it is very windy and the waves and surf are quite rough. We took a walk along the beach to enjoy the beauty.

The local Lions Club hosted a dinner for us. We had a fun time when some of the locals sang and danced for us. The Newfoundlanders have their own traditional music and we have really enjoyed listening to that. We have even learned a few words to sing along. Learning a few words is no small feat as the Newfies have their own particular language. It is a mixture of English with an Irish/Canadian accent and many of their own words. It’s fun to listen to them.

Tomorrow we head further south to Doyles,Newfoundland.
