God Guard Thee, Newfoundland
 

As some of you know, I'm heading home in August for a week of debauchery.

Here's a pic my friend sent the other day of beautiful Newfoundland.

If anyone wants to visit (I'm looking at YOU PF), PM me and I'll convince you!

breath-taking!

Hey look plenty of ice cubes for the drinks;)


lovely veiw

Very lovely picture Steph! What a spectacular view! You should make that your desktop background!

Steph, that is a fabulous picture. Thanks for sharing it. Bet you're looking forward to that trip in August. Probably a bit early for 'have a nice time' but ... well ... in case I forget later ... "HAVE A NICE TIME!" :D :D

You guys have to visit, too! The most bars per capita in North America, friendly, friendly, friendly people and it's like visiting another country!

Book your reservations now! :)

Steph,

Forgive my ignorance of Canadian geography, but wasn't "Ann of Green Gables" set in the Atlantic Provinces?

Anne of Green Gables was based in Prince Edward Island. Newfoundland is more easterly than PEI.

Can't wait.
 

And I want to party in all 4 bars!


just kidding;)





I told you how much I've wanted to go there. And that was before I met you.:) Now I REALLY want to cum there.:D








You don't have to tell us that. Some of us DO remember where the planes went on 9/11 and how well our people were treated.

Believe it or not, an enterprising Newfoundlander actually makes "Iceberg Vodka" from . . .. you guessed it . . . icebergs!

Picturesque and a likely good place to party...sounds like it'll be a nice time!

Steph,

Thanks. Have a good vacation/debauchery.

**sigh** I wanna go:(

I think I'm secretly a Newfie, and I was kidnapped as a child......

Where are you from, Fenian? Go to Newfoundland!!!! Nobody ever regrets it!

When Kevin Spacey was there to film "The Shipping News" he had four bodyguards with him. When he realized nobody thought he was anything special because he was an actor (most Newfs are quite dramatic and artistic), he ended up sending two of them home. He loved it there, too. He talked us up on Leno and Letterman.

Newfoundland rocks!

The title of my thread is one of the lines from our anthem - the only province in Canada with an anthem.

Ode to Newfoundland
Words and music by Sir Cavendish Boyle

When Sunrays crown thy pine clad hills
And Summer spreads her hand
When silvern voices tune thy rills
We love thee smiling land
We love thee, we love thee
We love thee, smiling land.

When spreads thy cloak of shimm'ring white
At Winter's stern command
Thro' shortened day and starlit night
We love thee, frozen land
We love thee, we love thee
We love thee, frozen land.

When blinding storm gusts fret thy shore
And wild waves lash thy strand
Thro' spindrift swirl and tempest roar
We love thee, wind-swept land
We love thee, we love thee
We love thee, wind-swept land.

As loved our fathers, so we love
Where once they stood we stand
Their prayer we raise to heav'n above
God guard thee, Newfoundland
God guard thee, God guard thee
God guard thee, Newfoundland.

Been to St. Johns Steph and it is absolutely Beautiful. I wouldn't mind going there at all.
