Newfoundland & Labrador Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Off to Newfoundland I'm not sure what to expect Pleasantly surprised! My last day in Halifax yesterday was pretty much spent wandering the streets. I checked out some of the "Lobsters in the City" that are scattered about town. They are basically 7 feet tall fibreglass lobsters that have been creatively decorated by artisans and will eventually be auctioned off to raise money for something...to be honest, I don't think I ever found out! I also stopped by the Mary E. Black Gallery which was currently displaying "In the Margins: Works by 12 woman clay artists." One from each of the [View Full Entry]

ENTRY 47 -- Boat Harbour & Cook's Hr. Trinity College was and is an Anglican seminary. While I had been away, my good friend and mentor Dr. R.K.Harriman had retired at age 70. "Bryan!" he said when he saw me. "The wayward postulant has returned from the Punjab!" After a short chat , (which the professor found 'very interesting') the subject shifted to Trinity College. Many changes had taken place while I had been abroad. I remained silent. "It started with a law suit against Trinity College. The administration lost. The college has been put on probation and sta [View Full Entry]

Excerpt of the Rev. H. Nigel Fox Jr. Travel Journal Entry 31 -- The Abomination That Wreaks Desolation By late winter we had settled into our new surroundings quite comfortably. Even at the bleakest time of year, the stark beauty of the area was undeniable, especially after a major snowfall. The rocky, barren landscape would be blanketed in deep, white, pristine snow as far as the eye could see in all directions - untouched by the presence of man. Our residence was just out of town at the top of a rise from which we could see the grey blue, often [View Full Entry]

Excerpt of the Rev. H. Nigel Fox Jr. Travel Journal Entry 22 -- The Dig Even with all her research lost at sea, Norah knew all she needed to know in order to find the Viking site and the talisman - if it was there. According to the Sagas, Vinland the Good was a "simple" society patterned after the teachings of Christ. It adopted the architecture and ways of the Skraelings (the aboriginal people). The newcomers used the great wealth that they produced to give themselves more time to pursue "the Good" - spirituality and the Kristgod. In all probability, t [View Full Entry]

Excerpt of the Rev. H. Nigel Fox Jr. Travel Journal Entry 21 -- Bakeapple Pie Norah's research showed that the usual method of Nordic travel was the long-ship. Uniquely built in such a way that it could glide across the water, this made the vessel vulnerable to storms. Although using the sun and stars for bearing, the Nordic sailors would follow the coastline wherever possible (keeping a safe distance). Recognising the warning signs of bad weather, they would pull into land before the storm broke. Currents were the most important factor in Nordic travel. The [View Full Entry]
