It all began with waking up first thing in the morning, enjoying a quick breakfast, then meeting with local residents outside the Salvation Army hall to participate in a parade through town, finishing up at the local legion with much fanfare.
Later in the day, there was a fair of sorts outside the community centre, with all kinds of fun events and lots of prizes. All this on a beautiful summer day, the kind that I came to remember Newfoundland for (even in spite of it raining for days at a time!)
This sticks in my mind as one of the most memorable things we did during the summer, in amongst our many trips to Gros Morne National Park (if you get a chance, GO THERE) and our overnight trip to the northern peninsula to visit some of the viking settlements (something that to this day still makes people jealous).
Hope you all enjoy your summer and your Canada Day!
