Day 12 & 13

The Arches

Cow Head, Newfoundland

Beautiful stones from The Arches, Cow Head, Newfoundland. We were driving back down from St. Anthony and stopped for a short time to see this wonderful creation! It was totally amazing!

Look how big these are!! Have you ever seen anything SO amazing? Totally cool!

Skipping rocks into the Atlantic ocean on Sunday morning!

Walking dow to The Arches

Day 12 - I actually posted the pics from St. Anthony under days 10 and 11.

Day 13 - On day 13 we drove down from St. Anthony (northern tip of Newfoundland up by Labrador) to Port aux Basques (where you catch ferry). We started off early around 6:15 am I think. It was rainy and very cold. We drove for at least 2 or 3 hours before FINALLY finding a small hotel open with a restroom. We passed fir trees and a few houses scattered here and there. Every now and then you come to a small village. However, during the time before lunch we only passed a few cars. I guess since it was Sunday traffic was even more slow. Thankfully we have 2 vans traveling along. Otherwise, we were pretty much the only ones on the road for long stretches.

The pictures above are of The Arches. These are located near Cow Head. By the time we reached them, the rain began to stop good enough for us to get out and enjoy them. It started back up before we left. Are these amazing or what??? The boys LOVED them. As you can tell, they were carved by the ocean for years. Underneath them the sea washes in beautiful, colorful rocks. You just want to take them all home. The rocks are SO smooth against your skin. I was amazed at their colors: green, pinkish, grey, black, etc.

Enjoy...more to come...
