31 Days in Canada

 In honour of CANADA DAY  I plan to post a daily image of Canada and a link to a random Canadian location we have visited. 

Today we'll visit Trinity, Dildo (YES), Brigus and St. John's in Newfoundland - random post

A traditional Newfoundland Jiggs Dinner (also called boiled dinner or cooked dinner) is a hearty, one-pot meal typically enjoyed on Sundays. It consists of boiled salt beef and root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and turnip, all cooked together alongside a cloth bag of yellow split peas that is mashed into "pease pudding".

Newfoundland is Canada’s easternmost province, known for its rugged, windswept coastlines, unique Irish-influenced culture, and famously friendly locals. Nicknamed "The Rock," the island is home to North America's oldest history, vibrant fishing villages, and abundant wildlife.

Deep History: As part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, it is home to North America's oldest European settlement (visited by the Vikings at L'Anse aux Meadows) and the oldest city in North America (St. John's).

A Distinct Identity: Because Newfoundland was its own British Dominion before joining Canada in 1949, its culture feels quite different from the rest of the country. Its unique accent, folklore, and traditions are heavily rooted in Irish, English, and French heritage.

Hospitality: The province has a global reputation for incredibly warm and welcoming locals, "kitchen parties," and lively oral tradition.
