Screech'n Newfies

---

I Love Newfoundland

Its like a big Irish fishing village with multi coloured timber houses and a harbour and old pubs and the accent is fantastic and Steph lives there! (Hi Steph 😊

Got screeched in. Old sailing/drinking tradition which involves
- the bar tender ringing a bell so everyone knows someone is about to get screeched in
- taking a shot of screech (tounge numbing rum)
- saying an un-sayable Newfie tounge twister (no good when tounge has decided to quit on you) and
- kissing a Cod. There was no cod around so I had to kiss a Puffin birds bum (Puffins are THE bird in NwFld)
All while wearing a davey crocket style hat.
Then you get a certificate which I am going to hang proudly in my office one day when I grow up...

I got to have a traditional 'Jigs Dinner' (Steph's roomie is from Newfld and we went out to her cottage to see her Dad for Sunday dinner)
It involved a lot of traditional foods but what you should all know is --- I ate MOOSE! That's right - I ate one before I have even seen one and it was delicious!

Tues 6am left NewFound Land then at 12pm left Nova Scotia then by 5pm I was in New Brunswick.
Three provinces in one day - be proud people!
I spent a total of 2 days in New Brunswick. I think the best thing was driving through it and looking at all the fall trees changing colour. Then it was onto another bus and into Quebec.
