Travel to Newfoundland

One of my goals in life is to visit Newfoundland in Canada. I have travelled to Canada twice but both times my family has voted not to travel there. Fortunately for me Farley Mowat, one of Canada's greatest writers, has just published Bay of Spirits: A Love Story.. The love story of the subtitle refers both to his love for Newfoundland as well as where he met the love of his life. By reading this great travelogue I can travel vicariously to Newfoundland and enjoy Mowat's powerful descriptive passages and the beautiful photographs which accompany the text.

Comments

I have a friend who grew up next to Mowat's house; and I always enjoyed his writing but until your eyes see this place and you feel the sea and the rich tapestry of life here, you cannot really say you visited Newfoundland.

Check out the pics and information on our website. Maybe you will vote to see the place....maybe even with us.

Cheers,
Dave Snow
