Up and going this morning starting with exercising and then off to St. Anthony's (200 miles) and thru many coves (Flowers, Sandy, Pines, Eddie's, Goose - to name a few).
Saw several of these utility poles surrounded by rocks enclosed with wooden slats....lots of rock up here so can't always find a spot for digging deep! Also, so much firewood stacked up out in the open places - just piles and piles....past few days we've seen how the home owners are stocking up, but today, seeing it after it's been cut and ready to take to their yards - sooooooo much wood!!!
We are at the Triple Falls RV Park near St. Anthony and after parking Daisy, took off for town to have lunch at Mary Brown's. We've seen these restaurants throughout the maritime provinces, but today was first time to try - good chicken!
Drove around town, Mark got a haircut, I stopped at Carson's Gift Shop and then we went to the Grenfell Properties - Dr. Wilfred Grenfell was a physician/missionary in the late 1800's who came from England to Labrador and then proceeded to put his medical and preaching skills to use. He built many hospitals, orphanages, etc. and died in 1940 leaving a lasting legacy for all his wonderful good works.

Mark gave Toad a good scrubbing at a car wash and then back to Daisy and did 2 loads of laundry. Had some sun this afternoon, breezy and in the low 60's
Tonight we went to The Great Viking Feast of Leifsburdir...it was in a cave-like setting under the ground with sod roof. It was quite an experience and our table of 8 (2 couples from Ontario and 1 from Newfoundland) enjoyed it all! We had an authentic Viking meal (salad, moose stew, roast beef, shrimp and rice, jiggs, caplin and salmon). Dessert was delicious partridge berry flat bread with whipped cream.
We then had a session of Viking Court with Mark, the spokesman for our table. There were 4 tables and each had a case to try before Captain Hroadsson. Mark presented the facts against Alex and Nick and then they spoke on their behalf....the counsel (rest of audience) voted and they were found innocent. Mark was charged with false accusation and his punishment was to treat our table to donuts at Tim Horton's afterwards. Of course, everyone was stuffed from our feast, so that didn't happen! Fun evening!!!
