Having left L\u2019Anse aux Meadows we stayed at the Dockside Motel<\/a> in St. Barbe in order to catch the QAJAQ (pronounced Kayak) W Ferry to Blanc-Sablon, Qu\u00e9bec, which is a 1.5 hour ride across the Strait of Belle Isle.  Much to our surprise, there was 5G cell service in Blanc-Sablon, so we are taking advantage of getting this post out before going into the land of no cell service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival, we made camp in a place called Parc Goodchild<\/a>.  This park was built as a memorial<\/a> to the two lives lost due to an avalanche in March of 1995<\/a>, as well as for the families that were relocated as a result of that tragic event.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before settling in at the campsite, we made a stop at Hometown Grocery<\/a> for some essentials.  While there, we collected the groceries we would need for the next few days and met a woman who has been with this store for over 30 years.  Dear ML, the candle has been lit. A blessing on your house!  Thanks for the quarter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our day ended with a serene sunset.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Thank you so kindly, Blanc-Sablon, for providing a safe and comfortable place to camp for the night.\u00a0\u00a0We are about to pack up and move north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel often, stay safe, well, and joyous!<\/p>\n\n\n
