Indian Burial Place
Hi there, I just read your site with great interest. My grandfather John (Jack) Mansfied was born in Indian Burial Place, NL. Unfortunately he died in 1985 at the age of 84. He was a miner from a very young age and worked at the mines in Tilt Cove and other surrounding mines (Bett's Cove) being one, eventually, moving with his widowed mother and younger brothers and sisters to work in the mines on Bell Island in the 1920's. He worked in the Bell Island Mines until they too closed in the 1960's. I remember when I was little he would take a trip out to Nipper's Harbour once every year, where relatives of his resettled when they left Indian Burial Place. My Grandfather's mother was a "May" or "Maye", and daughter of William May, one of the first,settlers there who came from England in the very early 1800's. He married a Proule. I just thought I'd share my little bit of information about Indian Burial Place with you. If you are interested there is a beautifull photo journal book a well known photographer published a few years ago highlighting some of the old resettled communities in Newfoundland and there is a beautifully done chapter on Indian Burial Place. There is a story about the first settlers encounters with indians (I suspect that they were Beothouk) while erecting their homes would find each time they tried to install their glass windows would have the glass stolen right out of them. Thank you for the very nice and interesting site about Indian Burial Place and I hope you found my ramblings of interest. By the way do you think any of the Indians intermingled with the white settlers?? I've always wondered. It's a thought. Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to connect with my roots. Take Care Pauline Morgan

Amazing
Absolutely delighted to see these photos. My Mom was Ivy White and was born there in 1915. Tried to get there 3 years ago and got as far as Nippers Harbour. The water was too rough to go by boat. Did not know then that there was a path we could have hiked..for sure I would hav done it. Hope to try another time. Thanks for the great photos. Maxine Russell

WOW!
This looks like another one of Newfoundland's hidden gems. I have had the opportunity to travel to many abandoned communities around the province and I can agree with the author about the awe-inspiring feeling that these places seem to resonate. It must have been extra special knowing that it was where you came from. It is now on my list of places to visit!

LOVE ATITLAN
It was so nice to see your pictures and here a little about your experience. Having made a trip to Atitlan it's always nice to hear someone else who appreciates it. Yep, mom and I had "Peter Pan" when we got off the boat in San Pedro who wanted to help us get a room but I'm a bit of a ......."really??? :!" type of person so I think he took the hint after that. Glad you guys had such a good time. HAPPY TRAVELS!

Honduras and Nicaragua
We met many travelers along the way who have gone through Honduras and Nicaragua with no problem, most of them single women., but we definitely understand your concern. The situation in Honduras is strictly political and we didn´t see any effects on the people, places, and transportation there except that it scared away the much-needed tourism in the country. We did however avoid spending much time in Tegulcigalpa, although rush hour traffic was hasn´t been affected one bit. As for Nicaragua, I didn´t feel like it was any different than Honduras. As with any large city such as Managua, there are safer areas than others. With common sense (i.e. don´t walk alone in the dark and listen to locals about unsafe areas), I think you´ll be fine. Nicaragua is a beautiful country and even though transportation was a bit rough in certain places (e.g. Isla de Ometepe), it is definitely worth a visit! =)

Where are you now?
dear Eva, Since your mother gave me your blog, I read it at my lunch time everyday. Very interesting writing and remarkable photos. I am kind of jealous you, wish we could visit those pretty places too. Over all, you both love the nature, catch the beauty, endure the hardship, take care of each other, what a beautiful couple and wondeful trip. May God bless you and Love you. Joan

Safety concerns
I am hoping to check out Nicaragua with a combined visit to Honduras (one previous visit) once the political confusion clears up in that beautiful country. Would be be wise to have second thoughts about Nicaragua, particularly as I would probably be going around on my own? We thoroughly enjoyed Copan and Roatan, and felt safe among the locals who (up to then - 2 years ago) appeared unaffected by tourism.

IBP
Was kinda of surprised to see these pictures, my family is from Burying Place(Prole), spent alot of time there when I was younger going out in boat. I still go to Nippers Harbour once or twice a year, as some family still lives there. There isn't much left in IBP, there used to be a trail but it has grown over now. If your in Nippers Harbour look up Edward or Don Prole, they were born in IBP and if the water is calm probably would be able to take you there. As well as tell you some of the history. Really enjoyed the pictures!
