Brigus and Cupids

Travelling up the east side of the North Avalon Coast visiting Brigus and Cupids ,tiny littlle coves along the coastline. Awesome! Weather is getting better!

New Cemetary

Wow! a new innovation to bury our loved ones.While we were trekking along Trinity Bight I noticed this scene with all these blue and white bouys in this tiny bay. There seemed to be a small boat in the middle of the bay.

A fter further investigation we found out this is a ocean cemetary where you can drop off your loved ones into the ocean and have a small memorial service on the chapel boat. They drop to the bottom in a concrete vault and each bouy is identified. Blue for men ,white for women.

Since there is very little soil on the ROCK land burial is difficult and EXPENSIVE.You have to be a NEWFIE to appreciate this one!

Fort Point Hiking Trail

Decided to hike the lighthouse trail since it was clear and not raining.Mesmorizing scenery. Went to the tiny village of Trouty and found a home Bakery and purchased the hottest loaf of bread that we could. TO DIE FOR! Right out of the oven.
