Newfoundland

There are four pictures; the first two are of Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland. The first pic is of Gros Morne itself (that is the name of the mountain), and the second is of the famous Fiords of the park.

The third and fourth are pics in an area comprising the seond portion of the province, Labrador. The first is an Old Moravian Mission in a small inuit community called Hopedale. The building in the background is very famous. I believe it is a national historic site. The fourth pic is of the place where I lived while working (I was a teacher there) in the isolated northern Innu community of Natuashish. This town was only recently built out of the wilderness (2002) in response to rampant drug and alcohol problems in the now defunct Davis Inlet. You may have heard of it. The social problems affiliated with it caputred world wide attention in the 1990's.



Thanx Jason for first post on this blog.
