We have 269km left to go and it’s 21 degrees and sunny. John Mayer is pumping through the speakers.

ROAD TRIP!

I wanted to call this entry “The Post from the Coast”, but after many a rolled eye and the much appreciated “you’re a bit of a geek, huh?” comment, I decided to change the title. Plus, we’re sorta traveling inland. In fact, in the complete opposite direction of the coast – I just like the fact that it rhymes.

Since departing from St. John’s at 10:30am, I’ve spotted four bakeapple stands (the average going rate is a whopping $10 a jar btw), several heart berry U-Pick’s and 25, 26, wait 27… too many motorcycles to count. Also, 3 European licence plates – how do you get a VW van across the Atlantic from Germany anyway?

I’ve eaten half the food that was suppose to last for the entire trip – I was secretly scavenging late last night under the cover of darkness (Damn You, Pringles, DAMN YOU!).

I forgot to bring my sunscreen too. Who would of guessed I’d be needing that? But I did remember my coconut scented hand cream!

I was excited to see, upon arriving in Grand Falls-Windsor, the Mary March Museum, which I hope to visit before heading back. If you’re a regular visitor to my blog you will have already noticed my fascination with native peoples – I find myself drawn to the museums and interpretive centres. Mary was said to have been the last known living Beothuk, and with her death came the end of an important era in history.

We’re shooting a wedding in the area. I’m completely in love with the scenery here and my fingers are crossed for good weather. We should come out of this with some amazing photographs.

Here are a few from the drive earlier today.
