A Year Under the Newfoundland Sun

Brigus Newfoundland in the Rain

[On traveling, review of A Year in Provence and Under The Tuscan Sun ] While I was getting ready for my big move to Newfoundland, I let myself do some non-censored wild mind dreaming, and a thought came up that I entertained for a bit.
