Sunday, July 20th 2003Our destination today was Terra Nova National Park, on the east coast of Newfoundland. We are very surprised by the fees they charge: $ 5. 00 per day per adult for use over $ 21. 00 per day for camping without utilities (electricity was $ 5. 00 more per night). The region abounds in the forest tree to reach the sea there are hiking trails, most aged between four and ten miles long. We went to the Marine Interpretation Center. A guard explains the different aquatic animals that are in contact tank: stars, scallops, barnacles, crabs of various, and so was very informative. They also have tanks with local species in the same: Caplain, cod, etc. Monday, July 21st 2003Took some tracks today to observe the wildlife and scenery that Terra Nova has to offer. We have seen three plovers, a herring gull, Whiskey Jack (Jay gray), and squirrels, which are not native to Newfoundland. We saw moose tracks and droppings and footprints of bear, but no moose or a bear yet. After a day of walking, it was early to bed. Tuesday, July 22nd, 2003Drove in St. Johns, Newfoundland's capital. We parked in Pitty Park in St. Johns. It is located near Memorial University. Until 1948, Newfoundland was an independent country. On July 22, 1948, voted the opportunity to be part of Canada. The first vote has been elusive. After some negotiations with the Canadian government and the necessary compromises, people voted by the Confederation of tight margins. Many Newfoundlanders, even today, many want the federal government has never taken place. The other chance was to join the U.S. or remain independent. A caused a decrease in the channel (the French for the manga), the Provincial Park. They put us in the overflow section, which is perfect for us because the area is very open. No electricity or water available except boiling in a provincial park. We are happy to pay $ 13. 00 Canadian per night. We are far from spitting on the lake, which has water temperature water bath. There are hiking trails. One leads to a picturesque falls in swimming is allowed but not recommended. Another leads to the ruins of the city of La Mancha. After Confederation in 1949, city residents had the opportunity to move to a bigger city because it was too expensive to maintain roads and provide other services such as electricity. Most of the rejections. After a major storm hit the region in the 1960s, the city had been destroyed and people have been resettled elsewhere. Only the foundations of buildings remain today from this town once prosperous fishing. Similar stories exist for many fishing villages on the island. When the fish died in the dredging, the life expectancy of fishermen in Newfoundland has been the terminal. Many have chosen to abandon the old ways, who had come with their families on this island in abundance, and moved to big cities to find work less significant. Friday, July 25th, 2003Today went whale watching. We found that Gatherall Bay Bulls charge of $ 50. 00 per person, but someone recommended seabirds or Ocean Adventure Tours Bauline east, closer to the park for only $ 20. 00 per person for a one-hour trip. We decided to go up them and see what they offer. We met Jerry, the owner-operator of seabirds, who had just returned from a trip to the Big Island, the Puffin sanctuary. He said he had seen about six humpbacks Shipping. When we left our little group of four has risen to more than twenty people. There was not much space on board for everyone. Three islands are Witless Bay Ecological Reserve: Great, Green and Gull. Great is the most important places on the east coast Bauline. The first bird is found the Fulmar, a rarity, as only twenty pairs on the island. Then there were the puffins just touching the water, flapping their wings almost as fast as hummingbirds, peak colors in contrast with the black and white body. Also in abundance are terns, and Murr, Newfoundland, and Sanderling, a member of the gull family of small, that has lowered its wingtip on the bottles of ink. Enough of these birds. To see their prey. Everyone in the boat scanning the horizon, as we head towards the sea. Finally, someone shouted, "Thar that beatings, to starboard." No hunting, we went and it was our first humpback whale, with a dip in a gesture of the tail fin. In everything we must have seen a dozen whales. The number could be more or less. It is very difficult to identify unless you take photos. We have a pair of fins, which generally have identification marks. Some whales are vocalizing, even for us. The whole world has acted as eight years, David, full of enthusiasm and respect for these wonderful people. At times we were within five feet of the whale. Somehow I think that was caused as much fun as they were, like porpoises in Charleston, SC harbor. Our journey to the sea over an hour was long and that had not even begun to return to the Big Island, or pier. We returned on the leeward side of the island and saw the Kittlwakes nesting sites for adults and babies. We passed many caves, a cave called Skull, as it looked like one, and natural arches cut into the rock by water and wind. The entire trip lasted nearly two hours. Everyone has their money more. After a quick sandwich or twenty minutes we went to Ferryland. We wanted to see the colony of Avalon and other interesting sites. We'll be back on Shamrock Festival Ferryland in tomorrow. When we were still building the site. Colony of Avalon is also there. We joined a walking tour, which had just begun, just outside the Visitor Center. Jennifer Carter was our guide. If you do not know the answer to our questions, she was in constant communication with someone who did. Colony of Avalon is an active archaeological site of more than four hectares of the community founded by George Calvert, AKA, Lord Baltimore in 1621. Located on the banks of a naturally protected port, the colony prospered during the 17th century, cod fishing is the main industry. Thousands of artifacts were found on the site, some of which date back further and Beotuck Basque tribes 16th century, Portuguese fishermen seasonal French and English. The Colony of Avalon, however, had paved streets, sewage on twice daily by high tides, forges, wells, warehouses at the port gates, fences, a mansion, and many other buildings. The excavations are still ongoing, with new artifacts found to date. The day we were there, they found part of a crystal goblet and a gold coin. Lord Baltimore left the colony to Sir David Kirke and went on to found the colony of Maryland. Kirke did so well in building the colony, which has been tried and convicted in England, most likely misuse of funds that should have gone to the crown. His wife took twenty five years. Most people have never heard of this prosperous colony predated Plymouth Rock. St. Augustine was founded in 1565 and at Jamestown in 1607. Sunday, July 27th 2003Went on a path to the ruins of the city of La Mancha. The city began in 1840 and built on the side of a steep hill, at least fifty feet above the shore. Who live there have been very difficult because everything was up and down the steep slope. Although it was almost a mile from the nearest road, the city prospered. When the confederation with Canada was in 1949, the Government wanted to move the city and good service will be granted. They refused. Leur décision a été Mais quand une tempête infirmée détruit la ville. It would be a heck of a storm, because the city was so high from the water's edge. Only the foundations remain, some with basements, cable stayed bridge crossing the river, and a doctor's house in ruins by the river and the hill. We saw a humpback whale frolicking in the bay. In return, I found a backbone of the stone and gave it to Jordan, a ten year old boy who was taking the trip with us. Herlidan Tanya was our naturalist guide. Later trailer brought to our city's image as it was before. Monday, July 28th 2003'Tis a cool day nice to visit the Irish Irish Loop: fog, rain and wind. Our first stop was at Ferryland Historical Museum. Graves wanted to hear German World War II. Young people who were in the museum, I dunno, but had heard stories of submarines in the region. We were told that the Germans have taken the bodies on land and local residents have services for them and then were buried in their cemeteries. We said it was possible because of the solitude of the local lighthouse, now shrouded in fog, is a good place to dispose of the body. They could not confirm the story, however. We asked where was the old cemetery. We found him. As you can see from the photo, which was completely neglected, many tombstones broken and unreadable. If the story is true or legend, it is still a great story. Renew happened, when the Mayflower stopped supplies, while on the way to Plymouth Rock. Then on the way to Portugal Cove South. The landscape was very open at this time, a great place to see herds of caribou, which are counted by thousands. On reaching the reception center in Portugal Cove South, in the fog. We were told by the girls in the center that the fog had lifted and was not very pleasant. Since last week, they could not see across the road. Portugal Cove South has 158 days of fog per year, almost half the time. When asked about the reason why they were so happy, they said it was due to the confluence of the Labrador, the Gulf of Mexico and the St. Lawrence River flows. In the Visitor Center exhibits on the Titanic and fossils. The men of the Cape Race lighthouse were the first to hear the unfortunate SOS Titanic in 1912. The wireless mouse and the old house was demolished some years later. So some historical artifacts had been buried. On the road to Cape Point Race is wrong, a treasure trove of fossils 575 million years old. Because the cod industry in the area was destroyed, local citizens have become the self-proclaimed guardians of fossil Tours offers to drive out the poachers. Today was not a day for optimal viewing, it becomes a slip and fall in the North Atlantic. When I asked the girls what was available in the region to stop here, said: "Nothing." Both were students at St. John's specialization in social work and physical therapy and was home only for the summer. Off we went to Trepassey. Trepassey was the takeoff point for a transatlantic voyage in 1928, Amelia Earhart. We were in a rain storm. We took refuge in a restaurant, ate lunch and watched the storm. Off to St. Shotts to see the caribou. Hiding behind the fog. We saw no caribou on the trip. We were told that their numbers have dwindled considerably due to illness. There is very little left on the Avalon Peninsula. We went to the west of the Irish Loop. The Shroud of Brigadoon lifted to reveal a beautiful Kelly green landscape with small farms that dot the hill. We went into the song, glad to see the rest, sixty miles from the Irish Loop. Tuesday, July 29th 2003Went in Cape Spear, the easternmost point of North America. Although Newfoundland is an island, still part of North America. Like the North Cape in Norway, also an island, is considered the northernmost point of Europe. In addition to a lighthouse in 1835, one of the oldest in Newfoundland, Cape Town is also the establishment of fortifications built by the Canadian and the U.S. Army during the Second World War to protect the sea lanes of San. John of the Nazi submarines. We have seen minke whales breaking the surface. They were far enough away to get pictures. However, it was exciting. He returned to the city and walked through the city. We stopped for ice cream at Moo Moo, a favorite spot for its 88 flavors of hard packed ice cream. After the cones, we went to the Basilica of St. John, which the diocese keeps its records. We were told that the historian is that most of the clan settled in communities Pelley England. San Juan was the closest port to Ireland. San Juan, who came to Halifax and Boston. Many Irish Catholics came and settled in cities Protestant because the Catholic Church was not established in late 1700 and early 1800. The research has been done is listed. I'll send you more information about those who are interested in their genealogy. Tuesday, 05 August, Killick Coast 2003Today handle. A Killick Stone is a pin enclosed in soft wood sticks linked, and with the Crusaders at the bottom to dig into the ground. En route are the towns with names such as Torbay, where the British have arrived in San Juan of the French. Later on Flat Rock, where the cod was placed in the rocks to dry flat. Pope John Paul II was there to bless the fleet. It also houses a replica of the Lourdes Grotto, which is visited by many pilgrims. Later on Pouch (pronounced Pooch) Bahia, founded before 1611, which was the first time documented. Despite permanent houses have been imposed by the Crown in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the Royal Navy, the pirates did not dare to enter the dangerous waters of the bay. Thus, the city grows. Then took another route to San Francisco Point, across a gravel road with just enough to pass. At the end of the road is a helipad and a beacon light to warn mariners of the rocks. For the Northern Peninsula and Baccalieu Baccalieu. The view is impressive. The Sierra Club also have to think that too, because we met a group of hikers on the road around the east coast of lunch on the stamp. Finally, the section on Portugal Cove ferry terminal at Bell Island. Bell Island is famous for its iron mines, which go underwater. During World War II, the German government has urged local ship captains to man their submarines as they were familiar with the waters of the region. Newfoundland, at the time was an independent country. One of the ferries have recently had a collision with a Russian trawler in confined waters, taken out of service. The government does not know whether to continue or reward, the captain of the ferry. We had lunch at the Cove Beach Café, part of a B & B by the same name. The fries were superb, a big plate of wedges. Loop through Cape Shore, Placentia, which includes the original French capital. We took the overland route across a gravel road. The Fradsham have a summer house on this road, called Misty Mountain. Nobody was home. So he left a note. The trail passes through the falls to cut a gorge through the hills sixty feet, a great show. We parked on the beach where the race was held in Piacenza, in July, part of the Triple Crown of Newfoundland. We visited the city of Placentia resolved in 1662 to protect French interests in North America. Castle hill overlooking the city is a national historic site. He managed to protect the city against invasion, but no lock. The land was not conducive to agriculture and the factions condemned the colony slowly. The French built the fortifications of Louisbourg, NS, leaving the British Placentia. Piacenza are also other archaeological excavations at the base of the bay. The perforation in Fort Louis, a military post, Fort Frederick, across the harbor entrance. The first visit and you can see the processes at work. The latter is less accessible, but a better quality of objects is discovered. You can see the archaeological treatment center in the city. Go to the Ecological Reserve Santa Maria, which is strictly for the birds: pelicans, the return trip to Piacenza we stopped at several towns along the route. First St. Brides, whose population has doubled in 1941, when the Americans established a base of listening to the German ships in the region. More than 400 soldiers have remained during the war years. They were able to transmit messages to the U.S. naval base Argentia thirty miles north. Military medical personnel also took care of his people because he had no other medical care available. Then he stopped at Gooseberry Cove, a small cove with black sand beach. It was pretty quiet, watching the waves on the sand. The sand is unusual in Newfoundland, since most of the beaches are rocky. Some stones strewn beach, but most had been sprayed on the sand by the action of currents. Our next stop was Ship Cove, which had a man made of stone riprap. Of those dam built Cairns. I added mine to the collection. Meanwhile, Maggie collected driftwood to work on his sculpture. Home at Plaisance and a stop at the archaeological site. He had found a piece of silver, slightly smaller than a dime, with a cross marked on one side. The flip side is more difficult to read. The lady also showed us a piece of copper, recently discovered, with three necklaces of flowers in one hand. Outside the O'Reilly home, built in the early to the local authority. It has been renovated with donated items. The house also contains exhibits on the relocation of many communities in Placentia Bay. The stories are very sad. All cities are fishing villages, independent of each other. While there were no fish, no work. When fishing is prohibited for them, their lifestyle was swept away. This is reminiscent of the destruction of the buffalo and the relocation of Native Americans.
