Deer Lake

This has been a great stop. The WiFi is the best ever. We all got our laundry done - and trailers, trucks and motor homes. Yesterday the weather was hot and sunny. Entertainment last night next to Larry and Martha's site. An accordian player/ singer came and played for several hours.

He made a killing, selling his CD's. A very nice guy and he'll make a return trip tonight.

We also went to Richard Squires Provincial Park to see the salmon jump. Boy, did they. I'll post pictures later, but they are very visible. We also took wildflower pictures and will determine later what exactly they are.

This morning we walked across the highway to the "Newfoundland Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion". Great displays, especially of the any colony and bee hive. They also had some very interesting bugs.

This afternoon it's back to Meyers Minerals to check out the Laboradorite jewelry one last time before moving on. I got a pendant and earrings last time. We'd have gone yesterday, but there was stalled traffic, probably due to an accident. Not a lot of roads around here, although this has been a more populous town. Yesterday we stopped at an antique shop and I found a Norwegian sewing box with rosemaling on the top. We'd seen one very much like it when we went to Little Norway in Wisconsin. I think the owner wanted to get rid of it because he practically gave it to us.
