from our dear friend, Catherine \u2013 very tasty, and quite intoxicating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After our visit to L\u2019Anse aux Meadows, we opted to have a late afternoon meal at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darktickle.com\/content\/18-cafe-nymphe\">Caf\u00e9 Nymphe Bistro<\/a>&nbsp;in Saint Lunaire-Griquet.&nbsp;&nbsp;As per our visit there last year, the meal, staff, and environment did not disappoint.&nbsp;&nbsp;The food was nothing short of delicious!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will soon head to Labrador for the next section of our journey, where we will have no cell service for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travel often, stay safe, well, and joyous!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='pinhole-gallery
