Exploring Newfoundland
September 14th, 2007Last week, Janet and I were in St. John’s Newfoundland, for a family outing. Once a year, we like to get away with our adult children, and also now with our grandson. The time is planned for togetherness and to explore, learn about a culture and appreciate the scenery of the community we have chosen.

Newfoundland, or “The Rock,” as the locals call it, is a wonderful place to visit. During the 90’s when I worked with Habitat for Humanity, I would get to Newfoundland several times each year. I was eager to introduce this province to my family.
The scenery was fantastic. Our family enjoyed exploring the Irish Loop and visiting the Colony of Avalon. Our 19-year old university student guide was very dynamic as she shared the story. She interpreted what life was like more than three hundred fifty years ago when the community was settled by persons from Great Britain.
TourMagination plans to add Newfoundland to our Canadian Maritime Tour in 2009. If you would like to receive a brochure when the tour details are planned, please send us a message.
