Dear Everyone

Dear Everyone,
I thought it'd be good to write letters that described Tobi and my road trip across the province of Newfoundland as I thought it would be less eventful than it has been. Day one we made it to a small provincial park, Notre-Dame provincial park, a ways past Gander. It was beautiful and I was shocked at the fact they had open garbage cans in each campsite. So much for bears here. We unpacked and had a restful night of sleep before heading on the road again to St. Anthony.
It was a faster drive than we had imagined, but it was just as beautiful as everyone had said. Large rocky hills rose up as we climbed through Gros Morne, similar to the foothills close to the mountains. The ocean appeared on one side of the road with the hills looming nearby on the other side. I cruised along while Tobi napped. By 5:30 we'd come to our next camping site, another beautifully maintained provincial park, Pistolet Bay. We unpacked and set up a tarp as rain had been in hither forecast.
Exhausted we made dinner and made a small fire. It wasn't long before we had to call it a night, exhausted from our drive. I was surprised at how much I actually thought I might be able to survive in the tiny towns dotting the rugged coastline.
Sincerely,
Yvette
