Wednesday, we drove to Trinity/Bonavista Bay and spent the night in Les and Shirley Smith's driveway. The blog today is short on pictures and long on story.
When we were in Trinity/Trinity Bay on Tuesday, I asked several people if they knew Shirley Brown, Les' wife. Les told me that when I got to Trinity, all I had to do was ask and anyone in Trinity would know her. Both times I asked, neither knew of her, and I was told the Browns were all from Trinity East.
Later, after talking with Shirley, I was told they didn't live in "that" Trinity, they lived in the other Trinity. The Smith's live at Trinity/ Bonavista Bay. She had circled the correct Trinity on the Newfoundland map that Les gave me last winter, but I forgot to check that map because we had picked several other NL maps. Anyway, we got to their home around 5:00 and had a great meal with Les and Shirley. Here's another example of wonderful Newfoundland hospitality!
Above is a photo of Les and Shirley. Look in the background! That's the Atlantic Ocean! The views from their home are fantastic. The photo above is of the group on their front deck. Connie and I know Les and Shirley as Winter Texans from Victoria Palms. I know I've said it before, but we are so fortunate to have such wonderful friends from South Texas.
Today we left Trinity and drove to Twillingate, NL to the Payton's RV Park. This will be our last major stop on the "Rock" before we head for the ferry next Tuesday.
The light house is the Long Point Light House. Imagine that, another light house.
