St Anthony NFL 7/19/10

After leaving L’Anse aux Meadows, we drove south to the town of St Anthony to hit up the grocery store, bank, library, and, of course, Canada's favorite:  Tim Horton’s, for a cuppa coffee. We found an agreeable community bathed in delicious sunshine (nice!), with a fine park at Fisherman’s Point. We took advantage of the hiking paths (more stairs!) near the lighthouse overlooking the ocean. We didn’t see any whales or bergs, but the views were spectacular.

 

In 1984 this bear was wandering around St Anthony backyards (that’d make you choke on your morning coffee when you saw it from your window!). Imagine! It collapsed and died from natural causes, and was airlifted to a local taxidermist for mounting. We spied the behemoth in the library.

 

Fisherman's Point Park, with it's multitude of stairs.  Picturesque!
