Sorry I posted pictures before notes .

July 11 Saturday 2009 Codroy Newfoundland
Sunny not a cloud in the sky. We go to the visitors center and load up on pamphlets. Off to see Rose Blanch granite lighthouse (1871). We pass many small fishing villages clinging tenaciously to the rocky exposed shores. Rose Blanch fell into ruin and in 1988 reconstruction began and completed in 1999. One remarkable feature was the stone stairs within the tower which kept the tower from collapsing after it was abandoned. On our entrance to the grounds $3ea. One of the keepers gives us a freshly picked bunch of radishes from her garden. Neat. The trails were well marked with signs naming the wild flowers. We go to the Friendly Fisherman for lunch. Highly recommended. We had a bowel of seafood chowder with freshly baked buns.$6 ea. Cape Ray Next another lighthouse. Here some 1,800 years ago Dorset Paleoeskimos camped during their nomadic hunting. The site was discovered in 1960. Archeological interest renews in 1996 when they find a dwelling. The museum was very interesting. Back to the Rv for a light dinner as we are still full from lunch. Bill gets the satalite dish working so we can watch Globle news.
