Trans Labrador highway
Yesterday, we've been all the day on this gravel road (actually 7 hours) and finally
arrived in Goose Bay/Happy Valley.
This whole road from St. Mary (actually Red bay) to Labrador City (part has been just opened
this year), is all gravel - about 550KM (330 miles) to Goose Bay.
When there is a lot of rain, it becomes really difficult to travel.
We've been a little worried about it.
No place to stop even not a gas station or bathroom for 7 hours..., but, we made it! :)
I hope to find some nice photos to take today in Goose Bay/Happy Valley.
We didn't have an Internet connection, so sorry that I didn't upload anything
for the past 2 days and no comments either - Thank you very much for all yours :)
- I'll try to catch up with my comments today :)

St. Lewis village, Labrador
2 days ago we left St. Mary heading North toward Goose Bay, on a cloudy,
rainy weather. St. Lewis was the first stop, a very small, but nice and clean,
village, well organized with lovely people.
St. Lewis is the most East point settled in N. America
- This, all East Labrador and Newfoundland are on the Greenland timezone,
which is 1and 1/2 h earlier than the Eastern Standard Time

Welcome to St. Lewis, Labrador
For those who don't know, this kind of "statue" of a man, built from stones simply placed one above other, is largely used in Canada.
- Inukshuk sculptures are placed on crossing roads or important points, it indicates that somebody has been there, and it's a safe place.
It's like a welcome sign, and it's become actually one of the Canadian symbols.

* After eating only fried, greasy things, almost all the way of Newfoundland
and Labrador, unexpected we found that this hotel got a new chef and yesterday,
we had one of the best meals we ever had!
- The special menu of the day was Beefsteak Stroganoff, and because my husband is vegetarian, the chef cooked for us an incredible delicious indian meal, with curry sauce and for me with seafood!!!mary's harbourcanada sceniclabradorwaterWater PicturesPhoto of the Daywnfllcanada

Ugly, rainy and windy day on the coast of Labrador, Blank Sablon.
We were happy to arrive safe yesterday after a tough

the boat will crash - uff!!!

Change Islands, Newfoundland hanging quilts
I was looking for the opportunity of a shot like this for very long time.
Finally I gave up with the idea, thinking that the "classic" images showing
hanging quilts in NFL were staged, so I'll never be able to get one.
- Yesterday, a miracle happened - a lady was just hanging these two out in the sun, and I was soooo ready for the shot :) Newfoundland, Canada, Atlantic Canada, maritimesquiltsNewfoundlandCanadaAtlantic Canadamaritimescanada countrysidefishing industryfishermen villagecraftsChange Islandssense of the placetraditional warevillagedecorativePhoto of the Daysense of placedart
